How do you call your chickens?

I use a clicker used to train dogs/horses. Click once or twice and toss down scratch in the coop. Now I have created a mobbing flock....I have to watch out if they see me headed towards the coop.

I usually only have to show up with either a watermelon or a box of Cheerios in hand and I get trampled. They know the sound of my car pulling in afterwork and they all know I will have SOMETHING for them.
Otherwise if I yell "DUCKIEEEEES!" I get a symphony of crowing, honking, bocking and loud quackity quacking.
Oddly enough, if I call CHICK-CHICK-CHICK they all lift their skirts and run to me silently.

I say

Here Chick, chick,chick

or

TREAAAAAAAT!

If I want them to go to the coop before bedtime I say HOUSE and get them going.

The first batch gets it and go in the coop, the second batch ignores me.

Then the chase begins with pure exaustion afterward.

I always greet them with, "Hello, GIRLS!!" and then the standard, "Chick chick chick" in a high-pitched voice. It's hilarious watching them with my sister, because her voice sounds exactly like mine, but she has blonde hair and I'm brown-haired...they get excited when they hear her call them but are then wary, because they got tricked that "the voice" is not Mama!

"GIRLS!!!" Let the stampede begin.

HENNY PENNYYYY... GIIIINNNGGGEERRRR... MARY ANN, CHICKENS!

WANT SOME BREAD?! WHO WHANTS BREAD?!

Then they all come running, even the dog!

We call the dog with her bell but she comes to the chickens names more.
Then when I ring for the dog the chickens come running!

Depends on the situation

If they are being naughties and get on my neighbors lawn I open the front door and say "Hey! Get back here" and for some reason they listen. Any other time it's "here chickie, chickie chickie" or "come on girls" <---- my roosters give me a lot of dirty looks.

Usually it's "Hey, chick-chickies", or sometimes "Little chiquitas", in a drawn-out sing-song with emphasis on the second syllable.
If they don't want to come, then it's "Dorothy! Come on little momma!". Dorothy will always come for a private treat, and everyone else goes wherever she is!

Here Biddy Biddy, biddybiddybiddy

Sometimes I accidentially get the cats attention.
