Pardon me if these are already listed:

Waddle: A distinctive way of walking, such as what ducks, penguins, and pregnant women do.

Wattles: The red, hangy-down things on a chickens face.

The loud, sudden, alarmed noise a chicken makes is a squawk. (often misspelled squak, squake, and many other creative variations.)

Can also be the word to indicate the chick has just broken though the shell during hatching.

And with the silkie thing... I once had some kid ask me if it was a monkey

That's pip

and zip is when there is a large crack around the shell indicating hatching is near.... I think
