The Wikipedia article on the Chicken says the chicken "...is believed to be descended from the wild Asian Red Junglefowl, Gallus gallus." It seems like this fact ought to be mentioned on the Red Junglefowl page as well, or, if it's incorrect, it ought to be removed from the chicken article. However, I defer to the judgement of those who know more about birds than I do. -- 64.81.243.120 07:22, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)

It is already on Red Junglefowl, but I'll add the info to Junglefowl too. jimfbleak 07:32, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Four or five species?

Should gallus domesticus (domestic chicken) not also be listed as a species? 2A01:388:505:150:0:0:1:82 (talk) 13:50, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
