ChickenPicks is a Netherlands-based boutique guitar pick maker founded by Eppo Franken, who began developing the picks in the 1980s before launching the brand commercially in 2010. The picks are molded from a high-density thermosetting plastic — sometimes described as a ceramic-like polymer — that is significantly more rigid than the celluloid, Delrin, or Ultem used in most mainstream picks. Manufacturing is split between facilities in Belgium and Germany.

The lineup is built around thick gauges with hand-finished bevels, and includes models such as the Light (2.2mm), Regular (2.6mm), Shredder (2.4mm and 3.5mm), Bermuda III, Bermuda III-P, Badazz III, and an XL bass pick. The stiffness of the material is intended to deliver a brighter attack, more articulation, and minimal flex compared with traditional plastic picks, which has earned the brand a following among country, chicken-picking, jazz, and metal players who favor heavy-gauge picks.

ChickenPicks are distributed through music retailers worldwide and are endorsed by a roster of players including Kiko Loureiro, John Jorgenson, Jonny Buckland of Coldplay, Daniel Donato, Jack Thammarat, and Doug Seven, among others.

Chicken Picks has 3 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Picks & Pick Holders. Their gear is featured by 3 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Metal, and Folk, World, & Country. Notable users include Kiko Loureiro, Glenn Fricker, and Daniel Donato.
