I'm afraid you guys lost me when you started talking about chickens that can't fly, and who have a difficult time surviving in urban environments, or on their own.

If you want to submit an argument based on the premise that your BANTAM ROOSTER is representative of domestic chickens, go right ahead.

Since Bantams have their origin in Indonesia and the very heavily populated SE Asian regions ~ they may well be much more representative of chickens than you imagine.

These critters managed to make it to South America!

BTW, there are "miniature" varities of all the common breeds ~ these guys have their own design peculiarities and mtdna ~
