'''The Chicks''' were a New Zealand singing sibling duo, active in the 1960s. Sisters Judy and Sue Donaldson scored several hits in their native country, including "Miss You Baby", which sounded similar to a song released by [Lynne Randell](/source/Lynne_Randell) entitled "Ciao Baby". After they split up, Sue launched a successful solo career as [Suzanne Lynch](/source/Suzanne_Lynch), or simply, Suzanne.[{{Cite web|url=http://www.sergent.com.au/music/chicks.html|title = Chicks}}] The Chicks were one of the local New Zealand acts who performed at [Redwood 70](/source/Redwood_70), the first major modern music festival held in New Zealand in 1970.[{{cite web|url=https://www.audioculture.co.nz/articles/redwood-70-national-music-convention |title=Redwood 70 National Music Convention |first=Andrew |last=Schmidt |publisher=AudioCulture |date=12 December 2013 |access-date=18 August 2022}}]
On 25 June 2020, the American band formerly known as "the [Dixie Chicks](/source/Dixie_Chicks)" changed their name to The Chicks, dropping the word "[Dixie](/source/Dixie)".[{{Cite web|last=Willman|first=Chris|title=Dixie Chicks Officially Change Name to 'The Chicks'|url=https://variety.com/2020/music/news/dixie-chicks-change-name-1234689849/|website=[Variety](/source/Variety_(magazine))|date=25 June 2020}}][{{cite magazine|url=https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2020/07/20/why-the-chicks-dropped-their-dixie|title=Why the Chicks Dropped Their "Dixie"|magazine=The New Yorker|author=Amanda Petrusich|date = July 13, 2020}}] The band received Judy and Sue's blessings to share the name.[{{cite web |last1=Burgham |first1=Lydia |title=Kiwi band The Chicks on sharing name with The Dixie Chicks |url=https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/kiwi-band-the-chicks-on-sharing-name-with-the-dixie-chicks/KP3R6SRDJRLTNMX5AU2YM5QA5E/ |website=[The New Zealand Herald](/source/The_New_Zealand_Herald) |accessdate=28 February 2022 |date=26 June 2020}}]
