They have interbred with other wild junglefowl species such as the grey junglefowl, Ceylon junglefowl, and green junglefowl. Adult males are called roosters or cocks, while younger males are referred to as cockerels. Castrated males are known as capons, and adult females are called hens, with sexually immature females called pullets. Humans keep chickens for food (both meat and eggs) and as pets, and historically, they were bred for cockfighting. Chickens raised for meat are called broilers, and those for egg production are called layers.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chickens are one of the most abundant domesticated animals globally, with a population exceeding 23.7 billion in 2018. They are more numerous than any other bird species and have significant cultural importance in myth, folklore, religion, language, and literature.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Genetic studies suggest multiple maternal origins in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and East Asia, with the clade in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa originating from the Indian subcontinent. Chickens spread from ancient India to the Eastern Mediterranean and were documented in ancient Egypt and Greece.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Terminology for chickens includes roosters (adult males), hens (adult females), biddies (newly hatched chickens), capons (castrated males), chicks (young chickens), and pullets (young females). In Australian English, &#8220;chook&#8221; is an informal term for a chicken, while &#8220;chick&#8221; is used less commonly to refer to a young bird.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The term &#8220;rooster&#8221; emerged in the 18th century as a euphemism for the word &#8220;cock&#8221; to avoid its sexual connotation. Chickens are omnivores and forage for seeds, insects, and small animals in the wild. Their lifespan varies by breed, with the oldest known chicken living for 16 years.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roosters can be distinguished from hens by their colorful plumage, while both genders have fleshy crests called combs and hanging skin flaps known as wattles. Domestic chickens are generally unable to fly long distances but can manage short flights to escape danger or access elevated roosting spots.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kyllingen, vitenskapelig kjent som Gallus domesticus, er en domestisert art som stammer fra den r\u00f8de jungelh\u00f8nen, som opprinnelig ble funnet i S\u00f8r\u00f8st-Asia.
