Chicken&_160; Rooster (m), Hen (f) The chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a domesticated fowl. As one of the most common and widespread domestic animals, and with a population of more than 24 billion in 2003,[1] there are more chickens in the world than any other bird. Humans keep chickens primarily as a source of food, consuming both their meat and their eggs. The chicken is believed to have descended from both the Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus) and the Grey Junglefowl (G. sonneratii), though hybrids of both wild types usually tend to be sterile.[clarification needed][citation needed] Recent genetic work has revealed that the genotype for yellow skin present in the domestic fowl is not present in what is otherwise its closest kin, the Red Junglefowl. It is most likely that the yellow skin trait in domestic birds originated in the Grey Junglefowl.[5] In the UK and Canada adult male chickens are known as cocks whereas in America and Australia they are called roosters. Males under a year old are cockerels.[6] Castrated roosters are called capons (though both surgical and chemical castration are now illegal in some parts of the world). Females over a year old are known as hens, and younger females are pullets.[7] In Australia and New Zealand (also sometimes in Britain), there is a generic term chook (pronounced /'t??k/ rhymes with "book") to describe all ages and both sexes.[8] Babies are called chicks, and the meat is called chicken.

5. Dispute ends in deal, not in strike
November 19, 2009
It was a high-stakes game of chicken that went down to the wire.
Both sides had prepared for a strike that could have cost billions of dollars in lost sales and wages.
But as the 6 p.m. strike deadline approached Friday, the parties moved toward one another instead of away. And employees at Arizona Fry's and Safeway supermarkets picked up pizza slices in celebration instead of picket signs.
It was a happier result than five years ago in Southern California, when a bruising strike went on for 20 weeks before the United Food and Commercial Workers Union gave in to many of the c... (read more)
