The domestic chicken, Gallus
domesticus probably originated from one of several jungle fowl, still found
wild throughout Southeast Asia.
Although the exact date
of domestication is unclear, archaeological evidence places the chicken
in human settlements in Indo-Pakistan by 3250 B.C. and in Egyptian tombs
dating as early as 2000 B.C.
The bird quickly dispersed
throughout the world, both for its uses in agriculture and as a combatant
in cockfights.
Some scholars believe that
interest in this "sport" was what led to the domestication of the
chicken. although it is of little importance to the commercial poultry
industry, chicken breeds have been, to some extent, standardized. Many
strains are crossed to achieve the ultimate type for layers or broilers
and the exactbreeding is a closely guarded trade secret.
