[edit] Discrepancy with Poultry article
In the chart of "Types of Poultry" for chickens in the poultry article, the "Domestication" columns states that chickens were domesticated in China in 3000 BC. However, this article states that chickens were domesticated from the Red Junglefowl in India. So which is it? These two articles appear to conflict.
- I found in some article a note that remnants of cages similar to what are still used for birds somewhere in the Burmese jungle, had been found in some dig in India and been dated 7000 years back (5000 BC), but I didn't find confirmation to this. Domestication however is another matter, wild fowl may have been kept too. 91.153.57.244 06:08, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] status
why is the Jungle Fowl listed as least concern when there is a documented section about them facing extinction due to genetic contamination? One or the other needs to change- I am in favor of changing the status to something closer to the extinction end of the spectrum. Wcbpolish (talk) 18:30, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
