Gorgeous little fur balls

After seeing the word in so much threads, I just have to ask. What does chooken mean? I think you use it to refer to their feet but, from where does the word come?

It confused me at first too I believe it's like little chicken legs with the cute piggy feet, all poking out for us to see. That thought stuck in my head and because chooken is such a lovely name to give it, I adopted it too (jumped on the band-wagon, but it's a nice band wagon! - band-wagon is a phrase used when someone copies a popular thing). If I'm wrong I'll feel silly!

I believe Chooken comes from Australia, where chickens are called chooks; so an amalgamation of chicken and chook - I think!

 

[Critter]

I sometimes hear chickens being called Chooks here in the UK too
