    The Origin of the Chicken

    from Southeast Asia.
    ➢ Red - Gallus gallus
    ➢ Grey - Gallus sonneratii
    ➢ Green - Gallus varius
    ➢ Ceylon - Gallus lafayetii

    Primary ancestor of
    all domestic chickens
    Four kinds of jungle fowl live in forests across South Asia, though in slightly
    different environments (Lawler, 2012)
