Collecting eggs from domesticated chickens is therefore not within the purview of this commandment.Evidently this commandment was given before the Israelites began ra...
The origin of the domesticated chicken (Gallus domesticus) is a matter of historical and scientific debate. It is certain that all chickens are descended from the Red Junglefowl (Gallus gallus), which is indigenous to northern Pakistan, northern and northeastern India, Myanmar (Burma), the Yunnan province of China, Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia....
Although it is true that תַּרְנְגוֹל (tarnegōl, “rooster”) and תַּרְנְגוֹלֶת (tarnegōlet, “hen”),the names given to domesticated chickens in rabbinic literature, do not occur in the Hebrew Scriptures,the presence of chickens in the land of Israel in the period of the monarchy weakens the assertion that chickens are never mentioned in the Hebrew Scr...

Chickens are mentioned in the New Testament as part of Jewish daily life, Philo of Alexandria refers to chickens at least once in his writings, and chickens are mentioned frequently in the earliest layers of ra...
We have seen that by the first century C.E. chickens had been fully adopted into Greco-Roman and Jewish culture. It is not surprising, therefore, that chickens play a role in the life and the teachings of Jesus. In addition to the passage from Mark cited above (Mark 13:35), chickens may be referred to in two other sayings of Jesus. In his teaching ...

The Biblical account of God creating birds tells us the chicken came before the egg.

There is no archaeological evidence for raising chickens or other fowl for meat or eggs during the Israelite period, though fowling was practiced and eggs were collected in the wild ( Deut 22:6; Isa 10:14 ). One biblical reference however to “fattened fowl” ( 1Kgs 5:3 [ 1Kgs 4:23 ]) promotes the idea that similarly to fattened calves, fowl ...
God created the animals (and humans) and then made them to multiply (Genesis 1:22).
