Wild domestic fowl are generally found in tropical forests and scrublands, but some species, such as the Mallard, have adapted to a wide variety of habitats. Mallards can be found in freshwater wetlands of all sizes, from small ponds to large lakes and rivers. They are also found in coastal and inland salt marshes, brackish lagoons, and estuaries.
Domestic fowls that have been bred as pets or livestock may live indoors or in outdoor enclosures, and they can adapt to a wide range of climates. However, they generally prefer warm, humid environments with plenty of space to roam and forage.
Some of the specific habitat requirements for domestic fowl include:
* Temperatures: Between 50° and 90°F
* Humidity: Between 35% and 65%
* Space: At least 2 square feet per bird
* Water: Fresh, clean water available at all times
* Food: A variety of grains, seeds, fruits, and vegetables
* Shelter: A draft-free, dry place with access to both food and water
Domestic fowl are social creatures and do best when they are kept with other birds. They also require regular interaction with humans in order to stay healthy and happy.
By providing the proper habitat and care, domestic fowl can thrive in a variety of environments.
