Thanks for the info.

I was answering the age old question of which came first the chicken or the eggs over at Slate.

Thanks for this info. I was looking for information about the scientific name of the duck and I also googled "chicken scientific name". This is a realy useful page, I'll be bookmarking it for future reference. Pretty good list of all the poultry scientific names, good for students who are doing science fairs or writing papers.

If anyone else is looking for more good chicken info I would recommend the site this blog links to for raising chickens, its pretty good,
