The Urban dictionary is a more definitave source:
piker
From the word pikey, refers to a person belonging to that group. Pikey/Piker is an Irish gypsy, english trailer trash, and just generally a person not to be trusted, who's past times include stealing, sinnning, gambling and living in caravans. They tend to have a gravitational vortex that attratcts dogs, horses, scrap and junk, and of course, things they have stolen.

Characterised by lurchers on a string, a unintelligible language that "isn't English, it isn't Irish, it's just Pikey" (source: Film: Snatch).
Pikeys are well-known for their skills of negotiation in business.
It's probably why they talk like that...so you can't follow what's being said. (source: Film: Snatch)

...Makes me feel better about the 10ft×12ft chicken coop we built last summer, heh...

Well they certainly don’t do it like that here in Kansas.

I'm Thinking @aart or @lazy gardener should be commuting out to California for some of that $225/hour consulting money.

I don't know about aart, but there is not enough money in the world for me to leave my home and subject myself to such idolatry and snobbishness.

I tried to sell a Svarthona rooster last year for $30. Not even one call. I bet if I lived there people would be beating their way to my door trying to buy him.

Not from my neck of the woods. Of the 4-5 close neighbors here no one has that kind of money in their coops. Around here if it ain’t free or bartered it don’t happen.

Exact same deal here. Last time I tried to sell laying hens I got told $5 was too much. Well, bucko, have you seen the price of feed nowadays?
Some people.

I only have 5 and I can't keep their names straight as it is. My wife names them and I forget em...sounds pretty self defeating. Well we have 5 more on order now so I am looking at more self defeating chicken love where I just love em being around me and my wife names these things too. I name my chicken all "Sweatie". Also, is there anyone reading this that doesn't appreciate the chicken that runs at you from across the yard to greet you?

I've named every single chicken I've ever had. I've had almost 80 total over the course of four years, and I've got 40 (exactly 40)right now- I can still remember every single chicken I've had.... I miss all the ones I don't still have so much.

Most of my girls do even if they don't like me. It scares the crap out of my city friends- I call them, and suddenly swarms of chickens are pouring out of the shadows

Speaking of chicken Cray Cray. I do have one her name is either Lizzey or Molley you would have to ask my wife on a Tuesday to know for sure that will only lay her egg inside and behind my computer chair.

I used to have one that would lay on the couch- mom wasn't sure whether to love or hate that chicken.
