Domestic chickens are descendants of the Red Junglefowl (and potentially the Grey Junglefowl) and were domesticated roughly seven thousand years ago. There are more chickens than any other bird on earth, and they can be found wherever people live. Hundreds of different chicken breeds can be found throughout the world.
Male chickens are called roosters, and female chickens are called hens. Due to domestication, hens no longer need a male to lay eggs. The average hen can lay upwards of 280 eggs every year! Chickens are social animals and will live in flocks consisting of one rooster and multiple hens.
