- The chicken is classed as the Chief POULTRY
- BIRD, probably domesticated from a South
- West Asian jungle fowl. Chickens are raised
- commercially in highly merchandised indoor
- chambers and are classified by their uses.
- The leghorn chicken is the main egg breed in
- the USA, while a cross between the fast
- growing Plymouth Rock chicken and the deep
- breasted Cornish henis are the most important
- meat breed. Some varieties are raised for
- their ornamental appearance, as pets, or for
- cockfighting.
