About Species
Species are able to reproduce, and is also the most specific major classification in biology. Living things that are very alike are still considered separate species if they cannot mate and produce fertile offspring.
About Birds
Birds are warm-blooded vertebrates that lay eggs. A bird’s skin is covered with feathers, and all living species have wings made from modified forelimbs, even though some species do not fly. The origin of birds goes back to the Jurassic period. Modern birds have no teeth unlike their predecessors. Birds are found on all seven continents and play an important role in the earth’s ecosystem.
About Chicken
A chicken is a type of domesticated fowl, and one of the oldest domesticated species. There are more chickens on Earth than any other type of bird. Humans keep chickens mainly as a source of food. We eat their eggs and use them for meat.
