Chicken is the most common type of poultry in the world. It has been domesticated and consumed as food for thousands of years. It is believed that chickens were first domesticated in India thousands of years ago, primarily for cockfighting and later for meat consumption. Later, chicken spread to other parts of Asia, Africa, Europe and eventually America. Chicken in America was brought by the early colonists from Europe.
Until the 19th century, chickens were often domesticated in households, both for their meat and their eggs. An excess amount of meat and eggs were used in bartering systems. In the later part of 19th and the early 20th century, household chicken farming gave way to chicken farming as a big business due to the increasing demand from cities.
Large-scale chicken farming gave rise to many breeds since breeders had to increase chicken production. Several new breeds have been developed since then, some of which include American, Mediterranean, British, Asiatic, Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte, Rhode Island Red, New Hampshire, Black Cochin, Red Malay game fowl, and Leghorn. Chicken, irrespective of its breed, is healthy and has a high nutritional value.
