where do chicken originate from, ..forest, woods, jungles, where?
Answers:
Wild chickens seem to have been common in India and East Asia (China, Thailand, and Vietnam) long ago, and that is where chickens were first domesticated (tamed), maybe around 7000 BC. Recent genetic evidence shows that people tamed chickens in two different places: in China and in India. Probably the people in each place didn't know that the other ones were also taming chickens. By about 5000 BC, people in China were certainly keeping chickens, and by 3000 BC people in India also had domesticated chickens.
They ate the chickens and they also ate their eggs.

The Red Junglefowl, the direct ancestor of the domestic chicken, was first raised in captivity at least 5,000 years ago in India, and the domesticated form has been taken all around the world as a very productive food source for both meat and eggs, which some breeds have been specifically developed to produce.
First of all.jungles and forests are almost the same thing.(woods is a synonym for forest)
Anywho, from jungles, mainly. Most domestic chickens are descendants of the Jungle Fowl.which still exists today. Selective breeding over thousands of years have yielded all the various breeds you see today.
The wild ancestor of the chicken is the jungle fowl of south east asia, which are still around and still live there, although they seem to live quite happily in english woods as well as asian jungle. They're skinnier; nothing like the monstosities bred to eat, but otherwise just look like. chickens.

Chicken are a domesticated breed of jungle fowl (a type of bird resembling a Bantam). These are found in the jungle obviously. However the chickens on supermarket shelves are very different to farmyard chickens. They are sepecially bred, and patented by firms such as Buxted, to amass loads of meat on their carcasses. The drawback to this is that the rapid weight gain is often bad for their hearts and their little legs that are unable to support the weight so they tend to have shorter lives. This is not a problem for the firms as they top the poor creatures at the earliest opportunity in order to maximise profits. So Supermarket chickens are effectively teenagers.
As a child I once owned a chicken that had made a break for freedom from a nearby chicken factory. I named it Henrietta!
It liked going for "walks" being pulled along on my sledge! (and no, its feet weren't nailed to the toy - it could have jumped off at any time)
