Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus) selected for low fear of humans are larger, more dominant and produce larger offspring.

Animal : an international journal of animal bioscience - 1 Sept 2014

Agnvall B, Ali A, Olby S, Jensen P

Abstract excerpt

Many traits associated with domestication are suggested to have developed as correlated responses to reduced fear of humans. Tameness may have reduced the stress of living in human proximity and improved welfare in captivity. We selected Red Junglefowl (ancestors of all domestic chickens) for fou...
