Chicken

The chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a domesticated fowl, a subspecies of the red junglefowl. As one of the most common and widespread domestic animals, with a population of more than 19 billion in 2011, there are more chickens in the world than any other species of bird or domestic animal. Humans keep chickens primarily as a source of food, consuming both their meat and their eggs.

Genetic studies have pointed to multiple maternal origins in Southeast-, East-, and South Asia, but with the clade found in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa originating in the Indian subcontinent. From India, the domesticated chicken was imported to Lydia in western Asia Minor, and to Greece by the fifth century BC. Fowl had been known in Egypt since the mid-15th century BC, with the "bird that gives birth every day" having come to Egypt from the land between Syria and Shinar, Babylonia, according to the annals of Thutmose III.

Terminology

In the UK and Ireland adult male chickens over the age of one year are primarily known as cocks, whereas in America, Australia and Canada they are more commonly called roosters. Males less than a year old are cockerels.Castrated roosters are called capons (surgical and chemical castration are now illegal in some parts of the world). Females over a year old are known as hens and younger females as pullets although in the egg-laying industry, a pullet becomes a hen when she begins to lay eggs at 16 to 20 weeks of age. In Australia and New Zealand (also sometimes in Britain), there is a generic term chook /ˈtʃʊk/ to describe all ages and both sexes. The young are called chicks and the meat is called chicken.

he said, "this ain't me, but i gotta eat
and feed my kids, y'know this place ain't cheap
well you can saint or damn m ebut i don't care
don't condemn me, don't commend me now..."
another around, his guts spill out
turns out his ships run aground and my head just swims around
"...so pour another, it's 3 AM, oh god this is insane
it's killing me, it's killing me
i know, i know i walked away but it's you i'll always blame
and it's killing me
if my liver swells up and spills out on the floor
i'll nail it to your door..."
don't be cheap, i've been discreet
and all thses victories have been bittersweet
we both made our beds you just piss the sheets
don't condemn me, don't condemn me now
"...i took my bow, i know that now, i just can't
remember how we let these grapes turn so sour..."
so pour another it's 4 AM, oh god this insane
it's killing me, it's killing me
you're the on ethat ran away and attached yourself to chains
and its killing me
if your heart swells up and spills out on the floor
i'd let it go
suprise, suprise i'm here a three beer
buzz has got the best of you again
you torn out what's left of my faith in
you i guess i'm too old to pretend
you're burning out
i kind of get the feeling that you're still the same,
you're burning out you haven't changed
i kind of get the feeling that you're still the same,
head in the ground, you haven't changed
