The generally accepted theory
among scientists is that all our do-
mestic fowls descended originally
from wild birds. Darwin believed
that the wild Jungle fowl of India
and the Malay Peninsula is the par-
ent of our chickens. These birds
are still numerous in India and Coch-
in, China and are often domesticated
bv the natives. They cross readily
with common barnyard chickens of
all kinds and produce fertile off-
springs. The male Jungle fowl
crows Just exactly like a bantam
rooster and the bird* In many other
ways resemble domesticated chick-
ens.
