The humble chicken is thought to originate from the red jungle fowl and the grey jungle fowl, found in the rainforest of India. Today, the domestic chicken is thought to be more closely
related to the grey jungle fowl due to the yellow coloring of it's
skin. Although they are similar, the Indian jungle fowl is about half the size of a domestic chicken today.The chicken was thought to be domesticated more than 10,000 years ago where the Indian and later the Vietnamese bred chickens for meat, feathers and eggs.
