1 always thought it is 1 chicken - 2 chickens
he forms chicks and chick represented- a young, attractive young woman, of course with some pejorative meaning
what do you think?

I can �t say I haven �t heard the word "chick" before Smile.
 
I think "chick" is just another word for "chicken". I might be wrong,. native speakers will know more.

Dear Mirela:
This is a chick, the little baby of the henSmile


and figuratively speaking it is also, as you said, a pretty and attractive young woman / girl.

Baby birds are chicks - magpie chicks, emu chicks, kookaburra chicks etc. Baby chickens are indeed called chicks.  It just means the baby of that bird type.
 
And yes, we women are also called chicks.
