About Chicken
Chickens are domesticated fowl, among the most common livestock worldwide, with a history dating back over 8,000 years. While a typical grocery chicken weighs around 1.5 kg (3.3 lb), heritage breeds can vary significantly. Notably, the chicken is the closest living relative to the Tyrannosaurus rex, based on DNA analysis.
