Domestic chickens (Gallus gallus) are of the family Phasianidae (pheasant-like birds), order Galliformes. To compare degrees of relatedness, guinea fowl are also of the order Galliformes, but not of the family Phasianidae. Turkeys are considered to be of the family Phasianidae, but were formerly classed in their own family, Meleagrididae. The red jungle fowl, from which the domestic chicken descends, is the same species. And of course, like all birds, chickens are of the class Aves.
The seven levels of classification of a chicken are Animalia, Chordata, Aves, Galliformes, Phasianidae, Phasianinae, Gallus. The species of a domesticated chicken is G. Gallus, and the subspecies is G. g. domesticus.
