For non-native English speakers, it's something like /ku:p/ for chickens /'koʊ.ɑp/ for cooperatives People sometimes spell the latter "co-op" (as an alternative to the New Yorker's "coöp") to make clear that it's two syllables. There's also a college merchandise shop in Cambridge, MA, called The Coop that seems to encourage people to use the chicken-oriented pronunciation as a joke. https://www.thecoop.com/our-story https://www.thecoop.com/our-story
