Everything About Chickens- Vo. 1

Yes, this really is everything about chickens. They are very noble animals, and I believe they deserve some respect. So here is their story. This information and the info from the coming volumes are from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken#Chickens_in_history

The first pictures of chickens were found in Europe on Corinthian pottery in the 7th century BC. In ancient Greece, chickens were considered a rare and very prestigious food. An early domestication of chickens may have occurred in Southeast Asia, since the word for domestic chicken is part of a language that was spoken in Asia. Chickens were spread by Polynesian sailors and finally reached Easter Island in 12th century BC, where they were most likely the only domestic animal.
