thread_title: Taxonomic/naming issues

message: In the chart of "Types of Poultry" for chickens in the poultry article, the "Domestication" columns states that chickens were domesticated in China in 3000 BC. However, this article states that chickens were domesticated from the Red Junglefowl in India. So which is it? These two articles appear to conflict.
:I found in some article a note that remnants of cages similar to what are still used for birds somewhere in the Burmese jungle, had been found in some dig in India and been dated 7000 years back (5000 BC), but I didn't find confirmation to this. Domestication however is another matter, wild fowl may have been kept too. 91.153.57.244 06:08, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

message: why is the Jungle Fowl listed as least concern when there is a documented section about them facing extinction due to genetic contamination?  One or the other needs to change- I am in favor of changing the status to something closer to the extinction end of the spectrum. Wcbpolish (talk) 18:30, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The species' conservation status shouldn't be changed unless it is on one of those lists. However, since it is not, I think that section needs to be reworded - the species may be facing 'a great problem', but not necessarily extinction. Andyo2000 (talk) 12:04, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: status

message: 1. In the section on sexual dimorphism, the first line says that both males and females have combs, but the last line of the first paragraph of the section says that females lack the comb.
2. The Conservation-status side bar at the right side of the page says the jungle fowl is of "Least concern," but the last line of the article says the jungle fowl in its pure form is threatened with extinction because of hybridization with domestic birds.  Perhaps there should be a clarification about survival of the wild-type form vs. that of the species as a whole, which is largely comprised of domestic varieties.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mmmeiss (talk • contribs) 18:52, 30 January 2017 (UTC)
