>I grew up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where it was known as a > "chook." (Rhymes with "look.") You've not gonna believe this........but a 'chook' in NZ is the local slang word for a chicken/fowl........in fact you never say I have a fowl farm but rather a chook farm. You also buy eggs but if someone wants you to qualify which sort you say chook! OK just about everything is also a chicken whether it's a day old chicken or a bird for the roaster.......the business world refers to either free-range chickens or battery hens. Cathy, who has now handcarded up all the brightly dyed Romney fleece she dyed a few years ago.....which is one of my winter projects for 08. I suddenly a month + ago became the 'home alone' personage when my long time flatmate moved out and I have a huge house to rejuvenate etc..........
