User:Yay unto the Chicken

A chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a type of domesticated bird which is often raised as a type of poultry. It is believed to be descended from the wild Indian and south-east Asian Red Junglefowl. Chickens are the most commonly found bird in the world. The population in 2003 was 24 billion (4 chickens for every human being), according to the Firefly Encyclopedia of Birds. They provide two sources of food frequently consumed by humans: their meat, also known as chicken, and eggs. Some fear that the number of chickens today is excessive and that they may have plans for world domination. It has been theorised that 4 "attack chickens" can take down an average human being in approximately 17.9 seconds, effectively meaning that chickens would be faster at destroying the world than Global Thermonuclear War.
