OH, CHOOKS ARE CHICKENS. (For some reason, when you were asking on that other site, I thought you had been asking about them as slang for potatoes as well and I missed all nuance.) I have heard that one before, but not as American slang, or not as Midwestern American slang. I think that's one of those things I've picked up from people around the world/people on the internet.
My aunt raises chickens and they give us the BEST eggs ever.
By the way, I sent you a Dreamwidth PM since I was at work when I wanted to email you, and I am blocked from gmail at work. Did you get the message? I'm fine if you didn't respond to it; I know how busy you are! I just wanted to make sure you got it in the first place. Otherwise I'll just go and copy it into an email to you tonight when I get home.
