fowl
The word "fowl" is often used interchangeably with "poultry," but "poultry" specifically refers to birds raised for food, whereas "fowl" can include wild game birds. In modern everyday conversation, people are more likely to name the specific bird (like "chicken" or "duck") rather than using the general term "fowl," which can sound slightly formal or technical.

This place is wild. They're selling 'heritage fowl' for like 40 bucks.
Ryan

Chloe is complaining about the pretentiousness of organic pricing using 'fowl' to describe expensive poultry. Ryan uses the slang 'bet' as an expression of agreement/confirmation, showcasing his typical brief and oblivious texting style.
