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 domestic chicken is descended primarily from the Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus) and is scientifically classified as the same species.[5] As such it can and does freely interbreed with populations of red jungle fowl.[5] Recent genetic analysis, has revealed that at least the gene for yellow skin, was incorporated into domestic birds through hybridization with the Grey Junglefowl (G. sonneratii).[6] In the UK, Ireland and Canada adult male chickens are primarily known as cocks, whereas in America and Australia they are better known roosters. Males under a year old are cockerels.[7] 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.[8] 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.[9] Babies are called chicks, and the meat is called chicken.
