Chicken toby jug produced by McCoy Pottery of Zanesville, Ohio, circa 1950. The chicken is a domesticated red junglefowl species that is originally from India. Rooster and cock are terms for adult male birds, and a younger male may be called a cockerel. An adult female bird is called a hen, and a sexually immature female is called a pullet. People keep chickens primarily as a source of food, consuming both their meat and eggs, or as pets.
