Today's question is from @Gill-b:
I call them "birds" or "poultry".Do you use a different collective noun when referring to your poultry to friends and/or family, other than the usual English words like chickens, ducks, geese, etcetera? For example, Australians also use the slang word 'chooks' when referring to chickens; and the Afrikaans word for ducks is 'eende'. It could also be your own personal made up word, for instance: "The Patch Scratches"?
