Chicken Dissection (RIP)

What is a chicken?

Chickens go by the scientific name: "Gallus Gallus Domesticus" meaning domesticated daring/bold.

Chickens are evolved from red jungle fowl, native to Yunnan, China.

Meat producing chickens are called broilers and egg producing chickens are called layers.

Male chickens are called roosters or cocks while female chickens are called hens. Unsexed juvenile chickens are called chicks. Once chicks reach a point of sexual dimorphism females become pullets and males become cockerels. A rarity is the capon, a castrated rooster (male chicken.)
