The prehistoric ancestor of all birds, including chickens, is the crow-sized archaeopteryx, which had a reptilian body, feathers, and claw-tipped wings, and dates back 145 million years.
The chicken's direct ancestor is the wild red jungle fowl found in Thailand, Burma, Sumatra, and eastern India. Domesticated by man about 5,000 years ago, it was probably the first domesticated bird and became the chickens we know today.
According to Uppsala University and Durham University in England who have both done gene mapping , the wild grey jungle fowl is also involved but both originate in the same area.
It's thought that the chicken originated from India and was called the Jungle Fowl.
Chicken originally from egg.
