An oft-repeated genre of preschool show nowadays is the "animals rescuing people" show, which, to be fair, has existed long before Paw Patrol (Wonder Pets for example), and this particular show, Chicken Squad, is based on a book series (I haven't heard of the books or read them because I don't keep up with the modern children's book scene).
While the show uses the stock Disney Junior tropes (animated in CGI, lack of title cards, once-an-episode songs, kid protagonists, copious celebrity guest stars), it also subverts some of the stock preschool show tropes altogether. Our heroes, Coop, Sweetie, and Little Boo aren't perfect people whatsoever, and a huge component of the show is them learning to use their skills and become the best heroes they can be.
And each of them are strong in their own way. Sweetie is physically strong (and I like that she's a strong girl), Coop is intelligent, and Little Boo is the youngest and fastest of our sibling trio. They have a nice dynamic with each other that can be entertaining to watch.
Just wish it wasn't as formulaic, and I don't see myself watching this every day, but it's nice for what it is. I just hope it stays true to what it is and doesn't do anything drastic.
