Woman with chicken queries time (4)

I believe the answer is:

when

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'queries time' is the definition.
'when' can be an answer for 'time' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'queries' bit.

'woman with chicken' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'W' (abbreviation eg in Woman Police Constable).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'chicken' becomes 'hen' (hen is a kind of chicken).
'w'+'hen'='WHEN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for when that I've seen before include "Over what period?" , "stop pouring the drink" , "Say it when you''ve had enough" , "At what time?" , "As soon as" .)
