Sheldon Chick is a major character and a chick (inside of an eggshell) from U.S. Acres. He is Booker's brother who refused to hatch completely and appears as a walking egg with chicken feet sticking out of him. A recurring gag is to portray his shell as the perfect living space within (which is known to have a microwave oven, pinball machine, stove, table tennis table, and an air conditioner), without ever showing it.

Physical appearance

Sheldon looks like a typical avian egg, except that his legs appear from two holes at the bottom of the shell. Like his brother Booker, he has large orange two-toed feet. In Kiddie Korner, it is revealed that he has white feathers.

In Shell Shocked Sheldon, the shell finally hatched, only to reveal another shell underneath.

Personality

Unlike his brother Booker, he is quiet, thoughtful, and introverted. He is shown to have a philosophical streak, as he sometimes sits upon a mound of dirt/grassy knoll (his "Sanctum Sanctorum") and muses upon life. Like his brother, he has masculine interests as he enjoys stories about monsters, ninjas, and mutants. He has difficulty getting along with Roy's niece Chloe due to her feminine interests (although, Sheldon hinted to fancy Chloe).

Trivia

• Sheldon is able to see despite his shell covering his face.
• The world inside Sheldon's shell is an example of hammerspace.
• On May 28, 1986, Sheldon says he did not want to hatch because he read the newspapers and saw how dangerous the world was. Booker breaks the fourth wall and tells everyone he is not an ordinary egg. On June 1, 1986, which begins with him singing "I'm a Little Teapot", Sheldon says it is because wherever he goes, he is home. He then says he does not need an umbrella, he saves money on haircuts, he does not take baths, and nobody can call him a chicken. He then forces Booker to be an egg, too, then falls down.
• In "The Orson Awards", Sheldon states in a film that he is afraid of the Easter Bunny, who tries to paint him.
• It is unknown what Sheldon looks like underneath the shell.
• Sheldon’s wings were seen in the episode “Kiddie Korner” when he helps strike the set. It is revealed that he has white feathers.
• Sheldon has sung the least out of the U.S. Acres cast.
• Sheldon was intended to appear as a pit crew member in Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3: Slime Speedway, as shown in the game files.
• Sheldon acts like his egg is a house to him.
