NOT the chicken or egg question but where where they originally from? What is their natural habitat? Is there anywhere that I can find wild chickens living in their original, natural habitat?

They’re descended from pheasant-like junglefowl. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Junglefowl

While birds of this type do exist in the wild in south Asia, it’s not clear that any of them are the original "wild" type any more. Most seem to have a few domestic chicken ancestors mixed in somewhere along the way.
