Best Answer

The original chickens are descended from jungle fowl in India. People recognized their potential for egg production and as a food item and began breeding them. Over time birds were selected for docile behavior as well as increased size and egg

production resulting in increased value.

Jungle fowl were also bred for fighting as a form of entertainment.
