What is a Chook?!!

[Quail_Antwerp]

I keep seeing people referring to their chooks and I have no clue what they are talking about?!

Chooks are what people 'across the pond' call their chickens. The 'pond' is the ocean, so people in other parts of the world call chickens... chooks.

Thanks I wondered too...but was too shy to ask

We call them chooks here, too!!!
It's an affectionate term for chickens!

Thank you. I was trying to figure out if it was a cross bred chicken of some kind or not.

Australians call them chooks mostly, we English usually refer to them as hens for the girlies and cockerels for the "Roos"

Girlies is what I call them all the time.
