Cute names haha  How long do Chickens live? I don't think I could bring myself to have a pet chicken, since I love to eat chicken! That would remind me of my pet as I was eating  |

The chicken apparently has an average life of around 5 - 7 years. so not that long. I've had these ones for like more than 6 years!! old chooks.. hehe |

I guess chooks are chickens in Aussie slang?  One guy on an Australian forum I am on has a bird named Chookie, and I figured it meant something to Aussies
Also, being on this international forum and the Australian forums, I noticed that countries with British influence say the word "cheeky" quite often... we don't have that word in the US  |

Nope... we don't say cheeky. I hadn't ever heard it used over here. Maybe I'll start saying it and watching people's reactions |

Hmm... don't know. I'll have to think about that one
When I'm at the county fair this year, I will look at the chickens and use some new words, like "aww, what a cheeky chook!" and see if anyone around knows what that is |
