  • About
According to the USDA, chickens are believed to be descended from red jungle fowl first domesticated in Southeast Asia before 7500 bce. The birds were likely imported west through trade or military campaigns, and they can be seen in artifacts from parts of the Mediterranean dating to 500 bce.

In the 1800s, importation of chickens from China led to the popularization of breeding in Europe and North America (McGee, On Food and Cooking). Mass production started in the twentieth century. Today, the vast majority of chickens for consumers are bred from the Cornish (developed in Britain) and the White Plymouth Rock (developed in New England) breeds to meet the needs of restaurants, food manufacturers, and supermarkets.
