Yes. Chicken remains have been found in the most ancient cities yet excavated and their images can be found on some of the ancient seals from those sites as well. Mohenjo Daro and Harappa have both yielded chicken bones as well as other sites in ancient Sumeria. It is believed that they were used for entertainment (cockfighting) as well as for food. If the on-going exploration of underwater ruins off the coast of India yield chicken remains, they could be over 10,000 years old.
