The Chicken (Gallus gallus, sometimes G. gallus domesticus) is a domesticated fowl likely descended from the wild Indian and southeast Asian Red Junglefowl and the related Grey Junglefowl. Traditionally it has been widely accepted that the chicken was descended solely from the former, as hybrids of both wild types tended toward sterility; but recent genetic work has revealed that the genotype for yellow skin present in the domestic fowl is not present in what is otherwise its closest kin, the Red Junglefowl. It is deemed most likely, then, that the yellow skin trait in domestic birds originated in the Grey Junglefowl.
The chicken is one of the most common and widespread domestic animals. With a population of more than 24 billion in 2003,there are more chickens in the world than any other bird. Humans keep chickens primarily as a source of food, with both their meat and their eggs consumed.
Chickens in nature may live for five to eleven years depending on the breed. In commercial intensive farming, a meat Chicken generally lives only six weeks before slaughter. A free range or organic meat Chicken will usually be slaughtered at about 14 weeks. Hens of special laying breeds may produce as many as 300 eggs a year. After 12 months, the hen's egg-laying ability starts to decline, and commercial laying hens are then slaughtered and used in baby foods, pet foods, pies and other processed foods. The world's oldest Chicken, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, died of heart failure when she was 16.

Roosters can usually be differentiated from hens by their striking plumage, marked by long flowing tails and shiny, pointed feathers on their necks and backs (the hackles and saddle)—these are often colored differently from the hackles and saddles of females.

Hello Igor,
He is so cute the way he tilts the head!
DoF spot on and lovely details in the plumage, effective point of view and I bet the little fellow is wondering what is going on..!

Hello Igor,

Wondeful details to make this cute chick appear to be popping off the screen! I like the backlight which just makes those little feathers standup.

I think it is just a little too tightly cropped at the top and makes the chicken appear to be ducking from the frame.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Zdravo dragi Igor
Kolku e slatko ova pile. Izvonredno makro i odlicen kontrast. TFS
