A Chook Loose in the Top Paddock The Chook in the Australian Unconscious, Judith Brett , single work essay
Brett posits the view that for most Australians the chook 'symbolises the precariousness of our social order ... For the chook symbolises the forces, both inner and outer, which we fear we have not conquered, and it does so by being a uniquely Australian comic figure.'
(p. 3)
