clucker
Barnyard bird, female
A clucker is a chicken, especially a hen—from the clucking sound they make.
The word extends to people who cluck disapprovingly or fuss over others like a mother hen: The neighborhood cluckers had plenty to say about her new boyfriend.
In drug slang, a clucker is someone addicted to crack cocaine, suggesting erratic, bird-like behavior.
