@@theotheseaeagle "they are a part of the chicken family" - They are NOT. They are of course in the _same_ family, but it's not the 'chicken family' - unlike for example, cats or dogs, the family chicken is within does NOT correlate to chicken. Therefore members of that family are NOT called chickens alongside their own common name, watch this breakdown; a) Felidae is validly called the 'cat family' because Felid translates to cat, all members are cats alongside their common name, lion, for example. b) Canidae is validly called the 'dog family', because Canid translates to dog, all members are dogs alongside their common name, fox, for example. c) *Here's where you are wrong.* Phasianidae is validly called the *'PHEASANT* family', because Phasianus translates to Pheasant. "Domestic chickens (Gallus Gallus Domesticus) are the same species as red junglefowl (Gallus Gallus)." - here's where ambiguity lies. Many sources designate the chicken as a distinct species; Gallus domesticus, NOT the subspecies Gallus gallus domesticus *(note how the second gallus and domesticus have lower case letters, the proper presentation).* "They regularly interbreed and it can become a problem when trying to preserve true wild jungle fowl. Saying junglefowl aren’t chickens is equivalent to saying that wolves aren’t part of the dog family" - utter TRIPE. MANY species can interbreed, there is NO single species definition adhered to, some allow for interbreeding, some don't. - to then state that analogy to dogs/wolves really exposes your lack of zoological knowledge. I've already outlined how the family level relates to the species level in those 3 examples, take heed and learn.

@@Dr.Ian-Plect I’ve never seen any sources saying that domestic chickens and red jungle fowl are separate species. 🤦‍♂️ Domestic chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) are a *subspecies* of their wild ancestors the red junglefowl Gallus gallus). The genus name gallus literally translates in Latin to “chicken”. So yes, grey junglefowl, red junglefowl, green junglefowl and domestic stock are all apart of the gallus and therefore *chicken* genus. As for interbreeding, domestic chickens and red junglefowl can interbreed to produce fertile hybrids which is generally not possible if they are distantly related and have vastly different numbers of chromosomes. Meanwhile grey junglefowl and domestic chickens/red junglefowl can interbreed but produce completely infertile hybrids.

Close but no cigar. While dogs and wolves split off relatively recently enough that total speciation has not occurred it is more like they share a common ancestor. These jungle fowl are the common ancestor of all modern domestic chickens. Dogs and wolves split off long before the common ancestor of modern dog breeds started following people around while we moved with herds of wild animals.

I live in Brazil and I have those same birds as domesticated chicken. They are more rustic animals than normal chickens. Last winter, a otter killed one that was hatching its eggs. I listened that, but I didn't know where it was. 10 days after this, in a cold night I start to hear chicks and yes, it was from the dead hen's nest despite the winter and temperatures near 12°C at night, here we have hot days. From the ten eggs hatched, three survived without the mother half of its hatching time. They are small, but they can hatch one dozen of eggs, including some average sized. Great mothers!

we live up in the mountains on the Big Island of Hawaii, a red jungle fowl moved himself in to our land. So we got him a wide variety of hens and started a flock that got to be about 30 ish chickens. We have fenced in acres, built a big chicken coop and let them free range 100% of the time and only harvest the eggs. We called him Roosty Juniper Fowlish, sadly he passed a year ago he lived for a long time 7 or 8 years from when we found him or he found us. he gave us many generations of chickens that we still have.

Technically speaking chickens and junglefowl are actually the same thing, chickens (or junglefowl) are any gamebird of the Gallus genus, the domestic chicken is cladistically a subspecies of the bankiva chicken (or red junglefowl).

@Dr.Ian-Plect 11 ай бұрын

"Technically speaking chickens and junglefowl are actually the same thing" 1. No, chickens and junglefowl are not the same thing. They are distinct species, two species aren't the same thing. "chickens (or junglefowl) are any gamebird of the Gallus genus" 2. No, as above, a genus splits into distinct species, and species have common names. Chicken ONLY refers to Gallus domesticus, ONE species from the genus Gallus. It doesn't apply to the other species in the genus, they are called junglefowl. "the domestic chicken is cladistically a subspecies of the bankiva chicken (or red junglefowl)." 3. Linnaean taxonomy covers this, no need for cladistics. Chickens are a species, not a subspecies, as no.2 states (Gallus domesticus). The red junglefowl was formally known as the bankiva/bankiva fowl, NOT ''bankiva chicken'. Red junglefowl _is_ the primary ancestor of chickens, though other junglefowl also contributed..

@Dr.Ian-Plect, actually, you are incorrect, all domestic animals are cladistically conspecific with wild animals, many are ranked as subspecies like for example: the Domestic Dog (Canis lupus familiaris), Domestic Ferret (Putorius putorius furo), Domestic Cat (Felis lybica catus), Domestic Donkey (Equus (Asinus) africanus domesticus), Domestic Horse (Equus (Equus) ferus caballus), Bali Cattle (Bibos javanicus domesticus), Gayal/Mithun (Bibos gaurus frontalis), Zebu (Bos namadicus indicus), Taurine Ox (Bos primigenius taurus), Domestic Sheep (Ovis gmelini aries), Domestic Goat (Capra aegagrus hircus), Domestic Pig (Sus scrofa domesticus), Domestic Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus domesticus), Domestic Guinea Pig (Cavia tschudii porcellus), Domestic Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo domestica), Domestic Chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus), Occidental Goose (Anser anser domesticus), Oriental Goose (Cygnopsis cygnoides domesticus), Domestic Muscovy Duck (Cairina moschata domestica), Domestic Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos domestica), Amur Carp (Cyprinus carpio rubrofuscus), and Goldfish (Carassius carassius auratus) are all cladistic subspecies of the Grey Wolf (Canis lupus), Occidental Ferret (Putorius putorius), African Wildcat (Felis lybica), Perdjie (Equus (Asinus) africanus), Tarpan (Equus (Equus) ferus), Banteng (Bibos javanicus), Gaur (Bibos gaurus), Paleotropical Aurochs (Bos namadicus), Palearctic Aurochs (Bos primigenius), Mouflon (Ovis gmelini), West Asian Ibex (Capra aegagrus), Wild Boar (Sus scrofa), Common Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), Montane Guinea Pig (Cavia tschudii), Mexican Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo), Bankiva Chicken or Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus), Greylag Goose (Anser anser), Swan Goose (Cygnopsis cygnoides), Muscovy Duck (Cairina moschata), and Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) respectively and the domestic water buffalo, domestic yak, and domestic bactrian camel are all simply populations rather than either distinct species or even subspecies, which is why both the Asiatic Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) and Yak (Poephagus grunniens) have only two valid subspecies, for the asiatic water buffalo, the two valid subspecies are the Indian Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis bubalis) and the Southeast Asian Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis hosei) while the two valid yak subspecies are the Himalayan Yak (Poephagus grunniens grunniens) and the Kunlun Shan Yak (Poephagus grunniens kunlunshanensis), with the domestic water buffalo being a population of the indian water buffalo and the domestic yak being a population of the himalayan yak, and the Bactrian Camel (Oreocamelus bactrianus) has two valid subspecies: the Gobi Camel (Oreocamelus bactrianus bactrianus) and the Kunlun Shan Camel (Oreocamelus bactrianus kunlunshanensis) with the domestic bactrian camel being a population of the gobi camel.

@Dr.Ian-Plect, also, chickens and junglefowl are the same thing, which is why many people are more familiar with "chicken" than "junglefowl", which is why we more often call Gallus species "chickens", it is now widely accepted that chickens (genus Gallus) are part of the family Gallidae, which is one of the nine extant families of gamebirds (order Galliformes), the Gallidae family also includes the shizurens, francolins, spurfowl, senlinaos, ropohons, jinegus, daoiren, peafowl, arguses, nartakees, wajameras, rohutans, snowcocks, chungchis, alavorona, and shabalrimals, Gallidae is also the largest and most diverse of the nine living gamebird families, with the family containing over 100 extant species within 30 genera, 12 subtribes, 6 tribes, and 2 subfamilies, with the subfamilies that Gallidae is further split into being Pavoninae (Peafowl, Arguses, Nartakees, Wajameras, Rohutans, Snowcocks, Chungchis, Alavorona, and Shabalrimals) and Gallinae (Chickens, Shizurens, Francolins, Spurfowl, Senlinaos, Ropohons, Jinegus, and Daoiren) with Pavoninae being further split into the tribes Tetraogallini (Snowcocks, Chungchis, Alavorona, and Shabalrimals) with the subtribes Margaroperdicina (Alavorona and Shabalrimals) and Tetraogallina (Snowcocks and Chungchis), Polyplectronini (Nartakees, Wajameras, and Rohutans) with the subtribes Tropicoperdicina (Rohutans) and Polyplectronina (Nartakees and Wajameras), and Pavonini (Peafowl and Arguses) with the subtribes Argusianina (Arguses) and Pavonina (Peafowl) and Gallinae being further split into the tribes Sinortygini (Senlinaos, Ropohons, Jinegus, and Daoiren) with the subtribes Arboricolina (Jinegus and Daoiren) and Sinortygina (Senlinaos and Ropohons), Galloperdicini (Spurfowl) with the subtribes Pternistidina (African Spurfowl) and Galloperdicina (Asiatic Spurfowl), and Gallini (Chickens, Shizurens, and Francolins) with the subtribes Francolinina (Francolins) and Gallina (Chickens and Shizurens), the thirty extant genera of gallids are Ammoperdix (Shabalrimals), Margaroperdix (Alavorona Lineage), Excalfactoria (Chungchis), Tetraogallus (Snowcocks), Viridipes (Green-Legged and Annam Rohutans), Tropicoperdix (Chestnut-Necklaced and Sabah Rohutans), Haematortyx (Wajameras), Polyplectron (Nartakees), Rheinardia (Crested Arguses), Argusianus (Common Arguses), Afropavo (African Peafowl), Pavo (Asiatic Peafowl), Oreoperdix (Daoiren Lineage), Arboricola (Jinegus), Sondaicornis (Ropohons), Sinortyx (Senlinaos), Xenortyx (Hartlaub's, Mount Cameroon, Handsome, and Swierstra's Spurfowl), Afroperdix (Jackson's, Erckel's, Black-Fronted, Djibouti, and Chestnut-Naped Spurfowl), Eupternistis (Grey-Striped, Ahanta, Scaly, Cape, Red-Billed, Natal, and Hildebrant's Spurfowl), Pternistis (Heuglin's, Double-Spurred, Harwood's, Clapperton's, Yellow-Necked, Swainson's, Grey-Breasted, and Red-Necked Spurfowl), Rutilortyx (Red Spurfowl Lineage), Galloperdix (Spotted Spurfowl), Scleroptila (African Desert Francolins), Campoclinus (African Prairie Francolins), Peliperdix (Latham's Francolin Lineage), Dendroperdix (Crested Francolin Lineage), Ortygornis (Mountain Francolins), Francolinus (Forest Francolins), Bambusicola (Shizurens), and Gallus (Chickens/Junglefowl).

Domestic chickens aren't a subspecies of the Red jungle fowl (Gallus Gallus) for this reason [Quote] Our study reveals a polyphyletic origin of domestic chicken diversity with the Red junglefowl as the main ancestor and subsequent introgression from the Grey, Ceylon, and Green junglefowls.[Unquote] They are Domestic chicken (Gallus domesticus), how can a mass hybrid be of only one particular species. Chickens are of the genus (Gallus) so are technically Jungle fowl, so all Chickens are Jungle fowl, but not all Jungle fowl (Red, Grey, Ceylon, Green) are Chickens. If you hybrid a Red jungle fowl (Gallus gallus) with a Grey jungle fowl (Gallus sonneratii), you no longer have the species (Gallus) or the species (Sonneratii), it's no longer a Red or a Grey, it's just of genus (Gallus), so if this hybris isn't a subspecies of the Red jungle fowl, then why would the Chicken.

2:25 That's not a jungle fowl. It's a Kosovo Longcrower, a domestic chicken breed bred for a long deep crow seen in the roosters. Jungle fowl are higher pitched and bit raspy, but tend to sound pretty similar to domestic chickens (Though there is variation between the species)

Okay 1st: let’s say that this video was kinda cool, interesting and informative. 2nd: I feel like you could say that chicken is a sub-type of fowl. There for all chickens are fowl, but not all fowl are chickens. And jungle fowl are different from domestic fowl (aka chickens) 3rd and last. I liked the video and I hope I made sense summing up my understanding of the distinction between fowl and chicken.

@Dr.Ian-Plect, yes they are, shizurens (genus Bambusicola) are more closely related to chickens (genus Gallus) than to any other extant genus of gamebird, they are the only two extant genera of the subtribe Gallina, which is one of the two subtribes of the broader tribe Gallini, the other being the francolins (subtribe Francolinina), Gallini is also one of three tribes of the subfamily Gallinae, the others being Sinortygini (Senlinaos, Ropohons, Jinegus, and Daoiren) and Galloperdicini (Spurfowl), it is shown that the spurfowl (tribe Galloperdicini) are the sister tribe to Gallini, with the tribe Sinortygini that contains four genera of other partridge-like gallines being basal to both, Gallinae is also one of the two subfamilies of the family Gallidae, the other is Pavoninae, which like Gallinae is split into three tribes, which are Tetraogallini (Snowcocks, Chungchis, Alavorona, and Shabalrimals), Polyplectronini (Nartakees, Wajameras, and Rohutans), and Pavonini (Peafowl and Arguses), within the pavonine tribes, the Tetraogallini tribe is split into the subtribes Margaroperdicina for both the Alavorona (Margaroperdix madagascarensis) and the Shabalrimals (genus Ammoperdix) and Tetraogallina for both the Snowcocks (genus Tetraogallus) and the Chungchis (genus Excalfactoria), the Polyplectronini tribe is split into the subtribes Tropicoperdicina (Rohutans) and Polyplectronina for both the Wajameras (genus Haematortyx) and Nartakees (genus Polyplectron), and the Pavonini tribe is split into the subtribes Argusianina (Arguses) and Pavonina (Peafowl).

@Dr.Ian-Plect, actually, you are incorrect, all domestic animals are cladistically conspecific with wild animals, many are ranked as subspecies like for example: the Domestic Dog (Canis lupus familiaris), Domestic Ferret (Putorius putorius furo), Domestic Cat (Felis lybica catus), Domestic Donkey (Equus (Asinus) africanus domesticus), Domestic Horse (Equus (Equus) ferus caballus), Bali Cattle (Bibos javanicus domesticus), Gayal/Mithun (Bibos gaurus frontalis), Zebu (Bos namadicus indicus), Taurine Ox (Bos primigenius taurus), Domestic Sheep (Ovis gmelini aries), Domestic Goat (Capra aegagrus hircus), Domestic Pig (Sus scrofa domesticus), Domestic Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus domesticus), Domestic Guinea Pig (Cavia tschudii porcellus), Domestic Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo domestica), Domestic Chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus), Occidental Goose (Anser anser domesticus), Oriental Goose (Cygnopsis cygnoides domesticus), Domestic Muscovy Duck (Cairina moschata domestica), Domestic Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos domestica), Amur Carp (Cyprinus carpio rubrofuscus), and Goldfish (Carassius carassius auratus) are all cladistic subspecies of the Grey Wolf (Canis lupus), Occidental Ferret (Putorius putorius), African Wildcat (Felis lybica), Perdjie (Equus (Asinus) africanus), Tarpan (Equus (Equus) ferus), Banteng (Bibos javanicus), Gaur (Bibos gaurus), Paleotropical Aurochs (Bos namadicus), Palearctic Aurochs (Bos primigenius), Mouflon (Ovis gmelini), West Asian Ibex (Capra aegagrus), Wild Boar (Sus scrofa), Common Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), Montane Guinea Pig (Cavia tschudii), Mexican Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo), Bankiva Chicken or Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus), Greylag Goose (Anser anser), Swan Goose (Cygnopsis cygnoides), Muscovy Duck (Cairina moschata), Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos), Common Carp (Cyprinus carpio), and European Crucian Carp (Carassius carassius) respectively and the domestic water buffalo, domestic yak, and domestic bactrian camel are all simply populations rather than either distinct species or even subspecies, which is why both the Asiatic Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) and Yak (Poephagus grunniens) have only two valid subspecies, for the asiatic water buffalo, the two valid subspecies are the Indian Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis bubalis) and the Southeast Asian Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis hosei) while the two valid yak subspecies are the Himalayan Yak (Poephagus grunniens grunniens) and the Kunlun Shan Yak (Poephagus grunniens kunlunshanensis), with the domestic water buffalo being a population of the indian water buffalo and the domestic yak being a population of the himalayan yak, and the Bactrian Camel (Oreocamelus bactrianus) has two valid subspecies: the Gobi Camel (Oreocamelus bactrianus bactrianus) and the Kunlun Shan Camel (Oreocamelus bactrianus kunlunshanensis) with the domestic bactrian camel being a population of the gobi camel.

@Dr.Ian-Plect, @Dr.Ian-Plect, "chicken" refers to the genus Gallus as a whole, therefore chickens and junglefowl are the same thing, just like "dog" refers to the family Canidae as a whole, "cat" refers to the family Felidae as a whole, "cattle" refers to the tribe Bovini as a whole, "camel" refers to the family Camelidae as a whole, "pig" refers to the family Suidae as a whole, "guinea pig" refers to the genus Cavia as a whole.

@@indyreno2933 I've corrected you on that conspecific point before, with examples, I won't go around in circles with a stubborn ignoramus. And I just stated "No need to repeat your claim that the whole genus are chickens, we've been over it.". I'll add though; note that your examples include mostly family level; a point I agree on. The family name has a translation relating to one of its members, and that member's name is applicable to all taxa in the family, alongside their own common name. Where you fail is that at genus level, the translation does _not have to follow this convention_ and apply to all members of the taxon.

Jungle fowls or hilly chicken is a native of our country. 80% of the people have this bird here as a domestic chicken. They are not a great source for meat of egg production as the birds are smaller than most chicken breed in Europe or US and typically only lays a clutch of 10-15 eggs. But since the majority of people are poor they raise this bird which can forage their own food and only comes back to the coop to rest for the night. Very cost effective as they don't need to be fed (only once in the mornings or evenings). The meat is delicious as they are almost 100% naturally raised. But the meat could be a little tougher than regular domesticated breeds. Before 1980 these birds were the only chicken breed in my country. Ps: I am from Bangladesh.

These wild jungle fowl are very elusive. I used to go with some of the kids to hunt jungle fowl in the woods. The jungle fowl is always on alert. Any noises they heared and they go and fly. The jungle fowl can fly for distance of one football field. If you are in the woods, thats a lot of walk.
