OK? What about adult chicks? Is meep derived from the sound of The Road Runner? A) Baby chicks is as opposed to adolescent chicks. There are no adult chicks, Mr. Smartyboots. And if there were they wouldn't meep either; they would cluck. 2) Some think, yes, meep is derived from the sound of the Road Runner. Others think it is echoic and was only popularized by the Road Runner.
