    IIRC chickens were a relatively modern addition to human agriculture. For actual caveman livestock you should be keeping snails.

      Fun fact: archaeological evidence of snail farming (heliciculture) dates back to the Mesolithic period, around 10,000 years ago! The Romans later industrialized it and built special enclosures called cochlearia where they’d fatten snails on milk and spelt flour before eating them.
