Introdution
The chicken (Gallus domesticus) is a domesticated species that arose from
the red junglefowl, originally from India. They have also partially hybridized
with other wild species of junglefowl (the grey junglefowl, Ceylon junglefowl,
and green junglefowl). Rooster and cock are terms for adult male birds, and a
younger male may be called a cockerel. A male that has been castrated is a
capon. An adult female bird is called a hen, and a sexually immature female is
called a pullet. Humans keep chickens primarily as a source of food
(consuming both their meat and eggs) or as pets. Traditionally, they were
also bred for cockfighting, which is still practiced in some places. Chickens
domesticated for meat are broilers, and for eggs, they are layers.
Chickens are one of the most common and widespread domestic animals,
with a total population of 23.7 billion as of 2018, up from more than 19
billion in 2011. There are more chickens in the world than any other bird.
There are numerous cultural references to chickens—in myth, folklore, and
religion, as well as in language and literature.
Genetic studies have pointed to multiple maternal origin theories within
South Asia, Southeast Asia, and East Asia, but the clade found in the
Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa originated from the Indian
subcontinent.
Deveploment
Roosters can usually be differentiated from hens by their striking plumage of
long, flowing tails and shiny, pointed feathers on their necks (hackles) and
backs (saddle), which are typically of brighter, bolder colours than those of
females of the same breed. However, in some breeds, such as the Sebright
chicken, the rooster has only slightly pointed neck feathers, the same colour
as the hen's. Identification can be made by looking at the comb, or eventually
by the development of spurs on the male's legs (in a few breeds and in
certain hybrids, the male and female chicks may be differentiated by colour).
Adult chickens have a fleshy crest on their heads called a comb, or
cockscomb, and hanging flaps of skin on either side under their beaks called
wattles. Collectively, these and other fleshy protuberances on the head and
throat are called caruncles. Both the adult male and female have wattles and
combs, but in most breeds, these are more prominent in males. A 'muff' or
'beard' is a mutation found in several chicken breeds that causes extra
feathering under the chicken's face, giving the appearance of a beard.
Chickens are gregarious birds and live together in flocks. They have a
communal approach to the incubation of eggs and raising of young.
Individual chickens in a flock will dominate others, establishing a pecking
order, with dominant individuals having priority for food access and nesting
locations. Removing hens or roosters from a flock causes a temporary
disruption to this social order until a new pecking order is established. Adding
hens, especially younger birds, to an existing flock can lead to fighting and
injury.
Chickens may occasionally gang up on a weak or inexperienced predator. At
least one credible report exists of a young fox killed by hens. If a chicken is
threatened by predators, stress, or is sick, it may puff up its feathers.
When a rooster finds food, he may call other chickens to eat first. He does
this by clucking in a high pitch as well as picking up and dropping the food.
This behaviour may also be observed in mother hens to call their chicks and
encourage them to eat.
A rooster's crowing is a loud and sometimes shrill call and sends a territorial
signal to other roosters. However, roosters may also crow in response to
sudden disturbances within their surroundings.
Hens cluck loudly after laying an egg and also to call their chicks. Chickens
also give different warning calls when they sense a predator approaching
from the air or on the ground.
Roosters almost always start crowing before four months of age. Although it
is possible for a hen to crow as well, crowing (together with hackles
development) is one of the clearest signs of being a rooster.[citation needed]
Rooster crowing contests are a traditional sport in several countries, such as
Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium,[38] the United States, Indonesia and
Japan. The oldest contests are held with longcrowers. Depending on the
breed, either the duration of the crowing or the times the rooster crows
within a certain time is measured.
To initiate courting, some roosters may dance in a circle around or near a hen
(a circle dance), often lowering the wing which is closest to the hen.[39] The
dance triggers a response in the hen[39] and when she responds to his call,
the rooster may mount the hen and proceed with the mating.
