| Sign | Word Description |
| chicken | Place a right “g” hand at the mouth (this is the sign for “bird). Then place tips of the “g” hand into the upturned palm of the left hand. Note: It is the second half of the sign that makes the sign specific to “chicken,” as a chicken is a bird that pecks. |
| cow | Touch the right temple with the thumb of a “Y” sign to illustrate a horn. |
| dog | Snap your fingers, hand at your side. Here, pup! |
