About the Domestic Chicken
Class: Aves
Order: Galliformes
Family: Phasianidae
Genus: Gallus
Species: gallus domesticus
Domestic chickens are found wherever humans keep them. They have had much of their behavior bred out of them by the domestication process. They are now less capable of fending off predators, for instance, and less aggressive toward each other.
