[{"role": "system", "content": "The chicken (\"Gallus gallus domesticus\") is a type of domesticated fowl, a subspecies of the red junglefowl. It is one of the most common and widespread domestic animals, with a total population of more than 19 billion as of 2011. Humans commonly keep chickens as a source of food (consuming both their meat and eggs) and as pets. Genetic studies have pointed to multiple maternal origins in Southeast Asia, East Asia, and South Asia, but with the clade found in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Africa originating in the Indian subcontinent. From India, the domesticated chicken was imported to Lydia in western Asia Minor, and to Greece by the fifth century BC. Fowl had been known in Egypt since the mid-15th century BC, with the \"bird that gives birth every day\" having come to Egypt from the land between Syria and Shinar, Babylonia, according to the annals of Thutmose III. In the UK and Ireland, adult male chickens over the age of one year are primarily known as cocks, whereas in the United States, Australia and Canada, they are more commonly called roosters. Males less than a year old are \"cockerels\". Castrated roosters are called \"capons\" (surgical and chemical castration are now illegal in some parts of the world).\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "How do you feel about chicken?
