Fair enough, but in a way chickens kinda should be on there anyways. They can't exactly fly very far, spend like 98% of their life on the ground, and humans breed them for food.

They don't spend 98% of their life on the ground in the wild. They sleep in trees, just like turkeys and peacocks.

90%+ chickens are bred for food, I don't think there's all that many truly wild chickens out there anymore.

I'm pretty sure they were domesticated from something (a South Asian jungle fowl, I believe) to the extent that they are no longer even the same species. So any "wild" chickens would just be feral escapees.
