I also tried to comment at on your previous chicken post, but it didn’t work - here it is:

I suspect that the origin of some chickens (yellow-skinned ones as in Europe) do have some admixture of grey jungle fowl, but ‘native’ chickens in SE Asia are pure-bred, from red jungle fowl.
Take a look at the chickens at:
http://www.coconutstudio.com/Chickens.htm
They all have white legs.
The uncle of my ‘general factotum’ still goes to the Marshes of Agusan on Mindanao to trap wild red jungle fowl for crossing with his own fighting birds.

I imagine there was a great deal of cross-breeding going on in SE Asia before THE chicken got to Europe.

and, to prove it…….

Darwin was NEVER wrong!

Very interesting blog. I wrote about chickens in SE Asia at:
http://www.coconutstudio.com/Chickens.htm
and I am very interested indeed in anything about Austronesians.
If you have a copy of the paper, could you possible send me it to:

Nice post. Selective breeding has made some variations but still has a lot to answer for by taking away natural selection and development.
