town in Henan province
鄐 is a rare kanji that refers to a specific place name: a town in Henan province. Its standalone meaning is limited to this geographical reference.
鄐 combines 畜 (livestock) with ⻏ (village/city), suggesting a place associated with livestock. The exact historical development is uncertain.
The left side 畜 suggests livestock, and the right side ⻏ is a village. Picture a town in Henan known for its livestock market.
For チク, imagine a chick pecking at grain in the livestock town: chick -> チク, and the town is full of animals.
