EN: scratching (the ground); to scratch (the ground)
This is what chickens do all day. It's that repetitive scratching motion they make on the ground, looking for food or gossip, probably. Your dog does this too on the sofa before settling down. Metaphorically, it's what you do when you're desperately digging through your bag for your keys. "Nag-kaykay ako sa bag ko pero wala talaga."
Often associated with fowls (chickens, etc.) or dogs. Can also mean to rummage.
