==Background==
===Physical appearance===
Just like his son Chicken Little, Buck has a red rooster comb. However, he has gold feathers, dark brown bushy eyebrows, a necktie, a plaid shirt, and large brown shorts.
==Role in the film==
After Chicken Little causes the town of Oakey Oaks to panic after telling them about a hexagonal object that hit him, Buck explains to the town that this is just a misunderstanding in which the citizens accuse Chicken Little for being insane. One year later, Buck then explains to him about the public getting more attention from Chicken Little as his father drops him off to school.
Later, after Chicken Little is sent to Principal Fetchit's office where he talks to his father about the inappropriate things he did at school, Buck explains to his son not to talk about the inappropriate things he did at school earlier. Later that night when Chicken Little explains to his father that he wants to be in the baseball team, but his father tells him to choose another activity such as chess as he comforts his deceased wife Chloe as he and his son return home.
He is later seen during a montage where Chicken Little is training where he reads a newspaper of Foxy Loxy becoming unbeatable in every game she plays. When Chicken Little wins the baseball game after training hard, Buck is very proud of Chicken Little winning his first game. When Chicken Little is satisfied of his first victory, his father Buck spends time with him about his victory during a baseball match, feeling proud of his son's victory.
After Chicken Little discovers a hexagonal object that hit him, he, Abby, and Runt try to explain to Buck in which they suddenly have nothing to say as Chicken Little and his friends escape to warn the town of Oakey Oaks about the discovery. Later, when Chicken Little rings the bell at Oakey Oaks Middle School, Buck is seen among the other citizens led by Chicken Little to know where the UFO is at Chicken Little's neighborhood as the citizens then believe that Chicken Little is making up the story, but Chicken Little explains to them about the truth in which the citizens do not see the aliens and their UFO (which constantly keeps disappearing).
Later after leaving the movie theater, Chicken Little explains to his father to take Kirby to the alien so that Kirby could return home. When the alien looks at Buck holding Kirby (thinking Chicken Little's father is attacking him), the alien plans to abduct him as he and Chicken Little hide to avoid getting caught as Chicken Little plans to bring Kirby back to his parents. Chicken Little and his father plan to go to the UFO where Kirby's parents would be at, albeit with the alien ground troops attacking with the help of Runt, Abby, and Fish to help Kirby reunite with his parents. Chicken Little eventually reaches to the top of the school where he tells the aliens that he is ready to bring Kirby to them to stop the attack. Upon saying "The Mighty Acorns...,", he and Chicken Little get abducted in the UFO where Kirby's father accuses the two of taking his son. Eventually, Kirby's father prepares to take out the two as his wife explains to him that Kirby is telling the truth as his wife tells him to put away the weapons as well as putting Chicken Little and his father down as a misunderstanding. The aliens then bring Chicken Little and his father back to Oakey Oaks as the aliens leave Oakey Oaks to get back to outer space.
After the aliens leave, Buck Cluck and his son, along with the citizens of Oakey Oaks, watch a movie starring a future version of himself.
Later during the credits, Buck and the citizens of Oakey Oaks sing "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" where he and his son dance along together.
==Trivia==
*Buck received minor attention on social media in 2020 when Disney used the character as a positive example of family that is "there for you". They immediately received backlash as Buck is widely regarded as a negative portrayal of parenthood.Disney slammed for embarrassing and wrong Chicken Little tweet
*His first name Buck is likely a pun on Buckeye, a type of species of chickens, and his last name Cluck is the sound that chickens make.
*In a deleted scene during the "Cooking With Klaus" alternate opening during the part where the reporters ask Buck to know what actor he thinks should play him in Chicken Little's movie, there are three actors whose names are puns on real-life actors and animals: Sean Penguin (pun on Sean Penn and Penguin), Brad Pitbull (pun on Brad Pitt and Pitbull), and Russell Crow (same pronunciation of Russell Crowe, minus the E to make it a pun on the actor's name and Crow, as in the bird).
