Yeah thats maybe Aussie Slang for Chickens. Context "going down the store to pick up some hot chook for dinner". Oh and when I call eh it's a Chook Chook Chook call.
Ya know, I am an old redneck. Grew up with hunting dogs, Old Blues, mutt dogs and every kind of mixed breed you can imagine. I just plain love ALL animals. But my favorite animals all go good with gravy!
