In my books, there is no 'ugly duckling turning into a beautiful swan' syndrome because if you look at the Hansel and Gretel syndrome, it was a mistake. It wasn't a duckling, it was a cygnet, and that's why it turned into a swan. The duckling should with any luck turn into a nice clucking duck and get on with its life. Cluck! Cluck! Cluck!

I have four Rhode Island Red hens. I get two eggs from them a day. They're feathered dustbins that eat leftover food and weeds, and they're easy to look after - I throw some grain at them in the morning, take the eggs and that's it. I love the sound of clucking.

I did undergo hypnotherapy, and it didn't work! The guy couldn't put me under. I was very disappointed. I was very keen to be suggested, to have somebody tell me to run naked or cluck like a chicken or whatever, but it didn't work for me, I'm afraid.

The world does not need tourists who ride by in a bus clucking their tongues. The world as it is needs those who will love it enough to change it, with what they have, where they are.

American Author

Use 'cluck' when describing sounds specific to chickens, especially hens.

Animal Sounds

'Cluck' is an example of onomatopoeia, where the word imitates the sound it represents.

Onomatopoeia

Hens cluck to communicate with their chicks, often seen as a nurturing behavior.

Maternal Instinct

Chickens may cluck louder when agitated or excited, not just when making casual sounds.

Emotional Chickens

People sometimes cluck to imitate chickens, either for humor or to ridicule.

Human Mimicry

The clucking sound is often used to indicate disapproval without using words.

Context of Disapproval

Clucking to express disapproval is common in some cultures but may be confusing in others.

Cultural Variation

Cluck can be a subtle, non-verbal cue that conveys feelings non-verbally.

Non-Verbal Communication
