In a study published in 2020, it was found that chickens shared between 71 and 79% of their genome with red junglefowl, with the period of domestication dated to 8,000 years ago. Although it is possible for a hen to crow as well, crowing (together with hackles development) is one of the clearest signs of being a rooster. The broody hen will stop laying and instead will focus on the incubation of the eggs (a full clutch is usually about 12 eggs). Many commercial incubators are industrial-sized with shelves holding tens of thousands of eggs at a time, with rotation of the eggs a fully automated process.

Domestic chicken in the Americas before Western contact is still an ongoing discussion, but blue-egged chickens, found only in the Americas and Asia, suggest an Asian origin for early American chickens. They have also partially hybridized with other wild species of junglefowl (the grey junglefowl, Ceylon junglefowl, and green junglefowl).

In some other countries, flocks are sometimes force moulted rather than being slaughtered to re-invigorate egg-laying. Chickens are susceptible to several parasites, including lice, mites, ticks, fleas, and intestinal worms, as well as other diseases. They reached Egypt for purposes of cockfighting about 1400 BC and became widely bred in Egypt around 300 BC.
