Chicken

Introduction

This week, I will be writing about the chicken. Why? Well, I think Chickens and Chick-Fil-A go together very well. 😅 Chickens aren’t just little, lazy birds that lie around. Read my newsletter to find out more about them.

Facts

Subspecies

There are hundreds of different chicken breeds and classifications. You can recognize each other species by many characteristics, including the following: the place of origin, skin color, plumage color, size, comb type, number of toes, egg coloring, and amount of feathering. In general, however, the chicken is a squat bird with a rounded appearance. Usually, they stand no more than 27.6 inches tall, and they weigh around 5.7 pounds on average.

Range

Chickens are believed to be descendants from the wild red jungle fowl, which can be traced to Southeast Asia and possibly certain parts of India. Domestication of these birds is believed to have happened multiple times, starting approximately 7,500 years ago.

Was it the chicken? Or the egg?

This question has been on since The Ancient Greeks since the present day. Which came first, the chicken or the egg. Some scientists say the chicken came first. OV-17 is something that is only found in chicken eggs. But how was that chicken born? Theory 2 is what if two proto chickens mated and created a small mutation that created a chicken egg? In this scenario, it was the egg. But, what of when the proto chickens mated, they had a proto chicken egg, and a chicken came out of the proto chicken egg? However, this is less likely because shouldn’t a proto chicken egg have a proto chicken chick, instead of a chicken chick? So, we end with two scenarios, a proto chicken mated and had a proto chicken egg, which had a chicken chick. If this was true, the chicken came first. OR a proto chicken mated, had a CHICKEN egg, which had a chicken, and if this is true, the egg is first.

Review

I will give this animal 10 stars because it is very athletic.
