"Chick" is mostly used by men to refer to good looking women.
-"Look at that hot chick"
-"Isn't that chick hot?"
But most women do not like the phrase because it is a bit dehumanizing/infantilizing. It can also imply that girls are like chicks (baby chickens) as chicks are babies and very disoriented in the world, are fragile etc. Some people find it offensive or hurtful.

Depends on who says it . How he says it and what his intention is.
Does it sound kind when I call you horny dog? Or Pig. animal names are kind of often use to degraded humans like stupid monkey . So if you want to compliment a girl that isn't the best way
