How's that pronounced? You just named the other one :)

You'd pronounce it kind of like cook! Cook cook! Which is probably very simply an imitation of the sound a chicken makes. Some of the Afrikaans words are very descriptive. This one, not so much!

Awesome! Looking at the breeding they are similar to the dominickers, but a younger breed. Very similar appearance :)

I assume the Dutch pronunciations are the most accurate due to heavy Dutch influence in SA.

Ain't the internet grand? :)

Oh wow! I'n it!
