They are also called chicken in the areas they are found. I visited Bangladesh few times, and they consider this the real chicken. The one we eat are usally called "farmer chicken". But i will be hones they taste better than the "farmer chicken".
@@ToneyCrimsonI don't like their taste as much but my family sure did. I think they're a little gamey sometimes. They're as chickens as huskies are dogs.
@@ToneyCrimson: The reason the wild chickens taste better than the domesticated chickens "farmer chicken" is because they forage wild fruits in the jungle and exercise more, the jungle fowls are the real " free range chickens"
I Just want to mention that domestic chickens come in a variety of leg colours rabging from slate grey, yellow, white, blue, green, black and even mottled. The yellow legs is thought to have come from a genetic infusion from the Grey Junglefowl.
@@Dr.Ian-Plect they are a part of the chicken family. Domestic chickens (Gallus Gallus Domesticus) are the same species as red junglefowl (Gallus Gallus). They regularly interbreed and it can become a problem when trying to preserve true wild jungle fowl strains. Saying junglefowl aren’t chickens is equivalent to saying that wolves aren’t part of the dog family
@@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.
That jungle fowl you're referring to, is what we call, native chicken here in the Philippines. They're mostly domesticated, eaten and oft times used for cock fighting.
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.
@@annabellethepitty "These jungle fowl are the common ancestor of all modern domestic chickens" - no, not _these_ individuals, sometime thousands of years ago!
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).
"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.
These are really cool birds. I lived on St. Thomas for 11 years. The last 5 years in a house with an actual yard. I had upward of 200 wild bird being fed every morning. Once they trusted me i could walk right through them. The babies huddled around me for safety. Had such a great time with those birds over the 5 years. Super smart and wicked aggressive if you harm a chick. Saw a hen attack a falcon one morning and get her chick back. Blew my mind.
They can, they do. They ARE Chickens; notwithstanding this fellow's contrarian assertion. They been used frequently, to infuse some wild blood into domestic strains.
@@Dr.Ian-Plect Distinct species ... of Chicken! I have Grey-legged, Green-legged, Brown-legged aaaand Blue-legged Chickens. This video asserts that Chickens haven't these colors of legs, but the Jungle Fowl may do. Wherever on this planet of ours, please, Doctor, DOES one find the long lost indigenous species of Wild Chickens? Whence come our Chickens, if not from these progenitors?
Depending on the breed and the man behind it i may bet on the domestic chicken in that fight. Especially if it were bread to be bigger, stronger, and faster than your average chicken.
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.
Your wrong here in the Philippines we breed red jungle fowl to all sorts of chicken like bantams, american game, asil, and other native chicken , yet their offspring which is crossbreed/ hybrid can reproduce unlike other hybrids that were infertile.
You are illusioned.. the concept of species is not a straight line. It has lots of exceptions and jungle fowls are one of them. Jungle fowls and chickens can breed with each other and can have fertile offsprings..
here in the Philippines we called these fowls as 'Labuyo' they are elusive and shy but easy to catch if the hen had chicks with her as they would be aggressive and keeps fighting
@@torokkecske-tv these naturally wild ones are very hard to spot on dense jungles.... but we managed to domesticated them and kept as pets or for cockfighting, and they are sometimes raised for its nutritious eggs and meat
Such an informative and to the point video, not full of garbage like a lot of other videos on UA-cam. 5 stars for you my friend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Btw I am obsessed with chickens and just now learning about red junglefowl, I've learned the most from your video so far
@@mikefrench3800 I hope you don't have grey legged chickens if so they are not chickens LOL.... they are only 4 or 5 different colors of legs on chickens.
They are wild chickens… just like wolves are wild domestic dogs… you can breed the characteristics you want the animal to have but the domestic animals are still the same species, just domesticated versions of the wild animal. Dogs are domesticated wolves, chickens are domesticated fowls.
Lol in Malaysia, these chikens move in village sleep on tree at night, Yes it’s different from super wild, but still can fly and protective of hen while scratching
Lots of them here in philippine forests.. usual sought-after by local hunters for food, and also to inter-breed with game fowls.. game fowl raisers usually prefer the males for breeding, the result is a high-flier cockfighter that displays superiority in mid-air fighting during a cock derby.
Thank you for sharing this amazing information ! They are so beautiful , but then again to me all animals are beautiful because I’m a vegetarian ! Wednesday November 9th 2022 I showed my sons mother in law this video so she could see the difference between Jungle Foul and Domestic Chickens ! We have Jungle Fowls where I’m from ! ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😊😊😊
I am pretty certain everything described in the video my chickens do including sleeping in trees and flying short distances. In short, chickens are fowls.
I used to breed Jungle Fowl with my chickens. The main difference is that they do not have a good immune system for muddy areas - but they are just a variety of chicken. But I get what you mean.
My mind is blown.... I thought they looked like that because we bred them that way from a pheasant/partridge relative, like how we have poodles nowadays.
They have the appearance of a pheasant... however, they are a chicken ... regardless of what tje narrator of this video says... You cannot mate jungle fowl with pheasants anymore than you can mate a chicken with a turkey ..
@@thefreese1 Chickens and Junglefowls can and do mate and produce hybrid offspring with many species of pheasants including the common pheasant, the offspring are mostly sterile although chicken/junglefowl and Silver pheasant hybrids are fertile, it can happen in captivity and also occurs naturally. Chickens can even mate with Peafowls however their offspring are often infertile. Turkey however are a little distant but they can still mate albeit the success rate is relatively low and the offspring are sterile.
@@finnabawm9097 also jungle fowl and pheasants have been in Asia forever... It's their area of origin...they don't mate .... Maybe people actually got some success by artificial Incemitatio. Along with scewing around with genetics... In Captivity a rooster will try to mate a duck or any other animal with feathers and maybe some without .. Some people out there actually think a Turkin is a chicken/turkey cross .. lol
Referring to them as jungle fowl is like the distinction between saying a wolf and a dog. You won’t confuse a wolf and a dog with eachother, you won’t confuse a jungle fowl and a chicken with eachother sorta thing. They can make viable and breedable children together though, but there’s no real benefit considering domestic chickens probably do have varieties that already look like jungle fowl, and the only thing you’d be getting from the babies is their jungle fowl jumpiness.
Nonsense. A wolf is a dog in regard to it being part of the dog family. It's at the family level that the family name applies to all species within it, not at genus level, as in the case of junglefowl and chickens. Junglefowl are not chickens.
Which came first, chicken or egg? Egg since (domesticated) chickens are the result of the years of selective breeding jungle fowl. The "perfection" of chosen traits of chickens such as color, size, temperament, etc. were witnessed only through their offsprings which were of couse hatched from eggs.
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)
My dad used to raise those jungle fowl in my garden, Vietnam. They're very pretty, when I was a kid, I spent hours mesmerizing and stroking their lovely feathers, before my dad cut off its head for my mom to cook lunch...
@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).
@@indyreno2933 No, Reno. What you've done here is erroneously stated chickens as the entire Gallus genus. Chickens are only one species in that genus, the rest are junglefowl. No need to repeat your claim that the whole genus are chickens, we've been over it. As usual, you include a wall of superfluous shitposting, flawed crap.
@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.
Seen one in Central Thailand in the jungle, I was confused, I said "really, chickens out here" and was told "No, not chicken, look like, but not chicken" which made me even more confused, I was thinking to myself "I know what a chicken looks like" 😂
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.
Once upon a time, all of our domestic animals were living in the jungle. Humans decided to domesticate them. Cats, dogs, chickens goats etc, we decided to domesticate all of them for our own benefits, and enjoyment as pets.
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.
Hey guys I have some shocking revelations. wild bananas aren't really bananas. Every natural color of nature isn't really a color. Wild Bugs aren't really bugs. Wild fish aren't really fish. Wild trees and bushes aren't really trees or bushes but something in-between. Sir you can tell me wild chickens are not chickens all you want. But just cause wild chickens are not domesticated doesn't mean they are not chickens it means they are wild chickens.
people are so fixed on it being a chicken that they can’t even consider the history of where they came from before they were selectively bred, domesticated, and farmed.
I live with both. One group is clever and alert because they are used to local african environment. The bigger type are usually cross breeds. They look bigger and dull. But they are all, nothing but chicken. Same are people are black n white. To prove that they are the same soecies: The breed well with no issues
Some chicken breeds are related. Bresse are believed to come from crossing with jungle fowl and have different metabolism than other chickens. They taste great and make a super rich broth too!
Oh yes they are very romantic! They chase the jungle chickens and and mount them by force just like domestic chickens and roosters. The chickens pretend to run away then slow down and let the rooster catch up!
They’re chickens,,,, breeding differences by itself doesn’t make you not a chicken. They’re all Gallus, and chickens are just domesticated Gallus, “Gallus domesticus.”
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.
More than a chance; ALL organisms are related. But more than that, birds ARE dinosaurs, so the relationship is fairly close. But T. rex is NOT ancestral to chickens or any bird.
In Taringa Zoo, Sydney years ago my children in excitement saying aloud 'kangaroo, kangaroo'..the male zookeeper approaching them and said: dear these are not kangaroos but wallabies.
red jungle fowl is common is some forest in the Philippines, the destinctive appearance of male is long tail feathers while female is black feathers..😁😁
Genetics… I was expecting the distance in relation, domestication commonalities with other domesticated animals, compatibility with “chickens”, hybrids, etc.
Just because in english they have "different name" doesn't mean it also same for other countries. And also because junglefowl are native species here, that also make the argument more invalid.
@@Dr.Ian-Plect by your logic all cats in the felis genus shouldn't be called "cat" either because they're all diverged from each other just like those "chicken" in gallus genera
We have a red jungle fowl in our backyard, we catch in the forest and today he leave and share by our domestic chickens..red fowl have a high rate of recovery and survivebility in times of sickness..
My question finally answered but here we still called chicken because its look no different than normal chicken but what the different is their egg shell is white not brown.. in my village has a lot of these jungle fowl the farm one is tame but their response spotting predators for sure its quicker than normal chicken one day i say the rooster flew 40 feet above coconut tree i thought its was hawk at first when i look closely its was rooster jungle fowl like the one has white spot on the ear in video.. i still cant believe it myself how can rooster flying with those high like a bird? But for sure their egg and meat taste much better than the one you bought from the market .. btw for few years i was looking for the answer searching about chicken can flying like bird nothing was found just as highest is 10feet in short distance for normal light weight chicken i heard many story from local people they said yes jungle fowl can flying higher but they preferred on the ground when night come they will flying on higher tree branches and sleeping there
Here in North east india, we dont have wild red jungle fowl in the wild anymore, we have domesticated them simce time emmemoral 😅. But we still have green jungle fowl in the wild which we often hunt.
These birds are so pretty!

This dude just straight described a Chicken.
They are also called chicken in the areas they are found. I visited Bangladesh few times, and they consider this the real chicken. The one we eat are usally called "farmer chicken".
But i will be hones they taste better than the "farmer chicken".
@@ToneyCrimsonI don't like their taste as much but my family sure did. I think they're a little gamey sometimes. They're as chickens as huskies are dogs.
Its a chicken. We in india just call it "desi murga or desi chicken" their meat is slightly gamey and they free fed, LOVE them
You are right Bruce, we are the ones who decided to domesticate these chickens!
@@ToneyCrimson: The reason the wild chickens taste better than the domesticated chickens "farmer chicken" is because they forage wild fruits in the jungle and exercise
more, the jungle fowls are the real " free range chickens"
So we start by saying they're not chickens and then we describe FREAKING CHICKENS for the whole video 😂
that's racist!
just kidding
100% what I was thinking
It's the same as wolves vs dogs.
Correct he is describing chicken in my village
They can interbreed just fine.
I Just want to mention that domestic chickens come in a variety of leg colours rabging from slate grey, yellow, white, blue, green, black and even mottled. The yellow legs is thought to have come from a genetic infusion from the Grey Junglefowl.
Tell him
I was about to mention it when I noticed your comment.
So they are related, after all. SMH
-Literally a wild chiken.
-"Its not a chiken!"
Junglefowl aren't chickens.
My question is do they taste like chicken? 😅that's the most important thing I need to know.
@@Dr.Ian-Plect they are a part of the chicken family. Domestic chickens (Gallus Gallus Domesticus) are the same species as red junglefowl (Gallus Gallus). They regularly interbreed and it can become a problem when trying to preserve true wild jungle fowl strains. Saying junglefowl aren’t chickens is equivalent to saying that wolves aren’t part of the dog family
@@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.
That jungle fowl you're referring to, is what we call, native chicken here in the Philippines. They're mostly domesticated, eaten and oft times used for cock fighting.

Same in the Caribbean too.
Exactly!
Sounds like Mexican chicken to me😊
Same in Nigeria and they are used as alarm
This is similar to the relationship between domesticated dogs and grey wolves.
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.

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).
"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.

They taste better than chicken.

These are really cool birds. I lived on St. Thomas for 11 years. The last 5 years in a house with an actual yard. I had upward of 200 wild bird being fed every morning. Once they trusted me i could walk right through them. The babies huddled around me for safety. Had such a great time with those birds over the 5 years.

Yes. This is actually a bad thing as well since it's polluting the gene pool, kind of how the domestic pigs are interbreeding with wild boars.

Wild =/= better at fighting.
Yes. I am.
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.
Your wrong here in the Philippines we breed red jungle fowl to all sorts of chicken like bantams, american game, asil, and other native chicken , yet their offspring which is crossbreed/ hybrid can reproduce unlike other hybrids that were infertile.
Then they aren't jungle fowl
You are illusioned.. the concept of species is not a straight line. It has lots of exceptions and jungle fowls are one of them. Jungle fowls and chickens can breed with each other and can have fertile offsprings..
You can't tell Whyyte folks nothing. They know everything.
here in the Philippines we called these fowls as 'Labuyo' they are elusive and shy but easy to catch if the hen had chicks with her as they would be aggressive and keeps fighting

They are wild chickens… just like wolves are wild domestic dogs… you can breed the characteristics you want the animal to have but the domestic animals are still the same species, just domesticated versions of the wild animal. Dogs are domesticated wolves, chickens are domesticated fowls.

Lots of them here in philippine forests.. usual sought-after by local hunters for food, and also to inter-breed with game fowls.. game fowl raisers usually prefer the males for breeding, the result is a high-flier cockfighter that displays superiority in mid-air fighting during a cock derby.

Chickens are omnivores, just like humans, and can't survive without animal protein.
My family and I bred these on a huge scale for 75 years, breeding around 300 a year. They are game
I am pretty certain everything described in the video my chickens do including sleeping in trees and flying short distances. In short, chickens are fowls.
I used to breed Jungle Fowl with my chickens. The main difference is that they do not have a good immune system for muddy areas - but they are just a variety of chicken. But I get what you mean.
My mind is blown.... I thought they looked like that because we bred them that way from a pheasant/partridge relative, like how we have poodles nowadays.
They have the appearance of a pheasant... however, they are a chicken ... regardless of what tje narrator of this video says... You cannot mate jungle fowl with pheasants anymore than you can mate a chicken with a turkey ..
our chickens originated from them
@@thefreese1 Chickens and Junglefowls can and do mate and produce hybrid offspring with many species of pheasants including the common pheasant, the offspring are mostly sterile although chicken/junglefowl and Silver pheasant hybrids are fertile, it can happen in captivity and also occurs naturally. Chickens can even mate with Peafowls however their offspring are often infertile. Turkey however are a little distant but they can still mate albeit the success rate is relatively low and the offspring are sterile.
I never said chickens cannot mate with jungle fowl because that's where all the modern chickens of today came from
@@finnabawm9097 also jungle fowl and pheasants have been in Asia forever... It's their area of origin...they don't mate .... Maybe people actually got some success by artificial Incemitatio. Along with scewing around with genetics... In Captivity a rooster will try to mate a duck or any other animal with feathers and maybe some without ..
Some people out there actually think a Turkin is a chicken/turkey cross .. lol
Referring to them as jungle fowl is like the distinction between saying a wolf and a dog. You won’t confuse a wolf and a dog with eachother, you won’t confuse a jungle fowl and a chicken with eachother sorta thing. They can make viable and breedable children together though, but there’s no real benefit considering domestic chickens probably do have varieties that already look like jungle fowl, and the only thing you’d be getting from the babies is their jungle fowl jumpiness.
Nonsense. A wolf is a dog in regard to it being part of the dog family. It's at the family level that the family name applies to all species within it, not at genus level, as in the case of junglefowl and chickens. Junglefowl are not chickens.
Gamefowl are the closest related to them, and they absolutely can breed to each other
My Dad raised fighting chickens & they look a LOT like the jungle fowl.
Which came first, chicken or egg?
Egg since (domesticated) chickens are the result of the years of selective breeding jungle fowl. The "perfection" of chosen traits of chickens such as color, size, temperament, etc. were witnessed only through their offsprings which were of couse hatched from eggs.
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)

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.

They can mate with chickens so that makes them chickens
Once upon a time, all of our domestic animals were living in the jungle. Humans decided to
domesticate them. Cats, dogs, chickens goats etc, we decided to domesticate all of them
for our own benefits, and enjoyment as pets.
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.
Hey guys I have some shocking revelations. wild bananas aren't really bananas. Every natural color of nature isn't really a color. Wild Bugs aren't really bugs. Wild fish aren't really fish. Wild trees and bushes aren't really trees or bushes but something in-between.
Sir you can tell me wild chickens are not chickens all you want. But just cause wild chickens are not domesticated doesn't mean they are not chickens it means they are wild chickens.
In Asia they're called "original chicken"
people are so fixed on it being a chicken that they can’t even consider the history of where they came from before they were selectively bred, domesticated, and farmed.
Those jungle fowl sure look like the fighting roosters I used to have.
Gray legs? So that's why my cousin's chicken looks off to me. I guess it's a jungle fowl lmao
I live with both.
One group is clever and alert because they are used to local african environment.
The bigger type are usually cross breeds. They look bigger and dull.
But they are all, nothing but chicken.
Same are people are black n white.
To prove that they are the same soecies:
The breed well with no issues
Chickens can have different colored legs, polish chickens have blue legs and silkies have black legs. So on and so forth
Mighty Max: Chicken
Virgil: Fowl actually
Some chicken breeds are related. Bresse are believed to come from crossing with jungle fowl and have different metabolism than other chickens.
They taste great and make a super rich broth too!
You can't fool me. That's a chickum.
WoW! Look at those wild Chickens! Wait! I mean, horses.
Can they breed together? The grey junglefowl is beautiful!
Yes, but you're going to get mixed results re: fertility depending on the cross.
Oh yes they are very romantic! They chase the jungle chickens and and mount them by force just like domestic chickens and roosters. The chickens pretend to run away then slow down and let the rooster catch up!
Would you say jungle fowl are to chickens what Homo erectus was to humans?
They’re chickens,,,, breeding differences by itself doesn’t make you not a chicken. They’re all Gallus, and chickens are just domesticated Gallus, “Gallus domesticus.”
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.
It's interesting that female chicken look muuuuuuch closer to male jungle fowl than jungle fowl females do.
There’s a chance that the T. rex might be a relative of the chicken.
More than a chance; ALL organisms are related. But more than that, birds ARE dinosaurs, so the relationship is fairly close. But T. rex is NOT ancestral to chickens or any bird.
In Taringa Zoo, Sydney years ago my children in excitement saying aloud 'kangaroo, kangaroo'..the male zookeeper approaching them and said: dear these are not kangaroos but wallabies.
red jungle fowl is common is some forest in the Philippines, the destinctive appearance of male is long tail feathers while female is black feathers..😁😁
*Deep jungle fowl scream*
I think that might be a pokemon
Probably this is the reason why asian and western have different way describing how chicken sound
It's indigenous to Philippines
Ah, native chickens... taste really good in soups.
Red jungle fowl have in philippines it's smart chicken fast in running high in flying and very smart in fighting than other breed of chicken.
They’re wild chickens! That’s where domesticated chickens come from!
phillippines jungle roosters was tiny. but they are really beautiful and much much more masculine(macho) in looks than normal roosters.
Domestic fowls also shed their tail feathers, and have grey leg, or the ones in oir locality are wild fowls
Of all those thanked at the end, I bet the dad is the proudest. I sure as hell would be if it was my kid. Nice video. 👍🏼
Genetics… I was expecting the distance in relation, domestication commonalities with other domesticated animals, compatibility with “chickens”, hybrids, etc.
Those roosters run around every deep rural backyard in Jamaica. What do you mean they’re not chickens?😅
That doesn't meant anything, in Indonesian language its called "Ayam Hutan" which is translated to "jungle chicken". So yeah it's still chicken
Just because in english they have "different name" doesn't mean it also same for other countries. And also because junglefowl are native species here, that also make the argument more invalid.
@@kotarojujo2737 Common names and their translations don't determine taxonomy. Junglefowl are not chickens.
@@Dr.Ian-Plect ok westoid
@@Dr.Ian-Plect by your logic all cats in the felis genus shouldn't be called "cat" either because they're all diverged from each other just like those "chicken" in gallus genera
@@Dr.Ian-Plect therefore calling all junglefowl as "chicken" are still valid.
We have a red jungle fowl in our backyard, we catch in the forest and today he leave and share by our domestic chickens..red fowl have a high rate of recovery and survivebility in times of sickness..
That's like saying a wolf isn't a dog
Super interesting.
It would be nice to have a domestic flock.
that’s not a junglefowl’s sound, it’s a Pelung chicken’s sound
Actually, junglefowl and chickens are the same thing.
And here I just thought it was a voice over from Brad @uselessfarms
I remember seeing these in SE Asia, cute little birds, amusing to watch.
Jungle fowl and chickens are exactly the same 😂.
If it looks tastes and crows cocodoodledo must be a Chicken 😅😂😂😂😂
They are smaller than regular cockfighting chicken.and are high flier too.difficult to catch.we called them LABUYO.
More similarities than differences!
Red Jungle Fowls are in fact
The Ancestors of all Domestic Chickens!
They are in fact, their own type of chicken.
If it looks like a chicken and tastes like a chicken ......ITS A CHICKEN
My question finally answered but here we still called chicken because its look no different than normal chicken but what the different is their egg shell is white not brown.. in my village has a lot of these jungle fowl the farm one is tame but their response spotting predators for sure its quicker than normal chicken one day i say the rooster flew 40 feet above coconut tree i thought its was hawk at first when i look closely its was rooster jungle fowl like the one has white spot on the ear in video.. i still cant believe it myself how can rooster flying with those high like a bird? But for sure their egg and meat taste much better than the one you bought from the market .. btw for few years i was looking for the answer searching about chicken can flying like bird nothing was found just as highest is 10feet in short distance for normal light weight chicken i heard many story from local people they said yes jungle fowl can flying higher but they preferred on the ground when night come they will flying on higher tree branches and sleeping there
They are like the cavemen of chickens.
Here in North east india, we dont have wild red jungle fowl in the wild anymore, we have domesticated them simce time emmemoral 😅. But we still have green jungle fowl in the wild which we often hunt.
Thats a comb, not a wattle lmao
