Look no further than the name of this site. It don't say 'chooks', now does it? It didn't come from here.

I usually call mine chickens but occasionally use "chooks" for the plural instead of saying "flock." My flock has geese and ducks in it... But the "chook" sound is one of the origins of the word. Yes, Australians refer to chickens as chooks, too.

LMAO is Laugh My [butt] Off. Except the "butt" is that other word related to a donkey.

Biddies, depending on where you live and were raised, can be hens or pullets or chicks.

OHHH!!! the world of Facebook makes 100% more sense now!

If you have any doubts what something means... ask your average 13 year old....

Biddy or Bitty is an old term usually refering to an older hen or in slang refers to an older woman like my user name. It.s also used as a name. my mom had a pullet she named Bitty.
