I'm sure they weren't. They must have been around before people. (Not in their present form I'm sure.) The early humans probably hunted them for food and eggs until the figured out if they capture them and 'coop' them up they could have lots of eggs and more chickens. Does that sound logical? Where? No way of knowing.

There is a way of knowing. Find bones from early human settlements comprising both human and animal along with drawings and/or other evidence they domesticated animals. This does not confirm but gives dates to begin conjecture. Upon reread you asked "where" not "when". Nonetheless both can be answered within a high degree of certainty.

The whole nation used to have a terrible wild chicken problem. We were over-run with the darn things. Then along came a Colonel and, well, you know the rest of that story with the 11 herbs and spices . . .
The whole story was printed on the backs of the paper place-mats at that restaurant in my hometown that also had the Kentucky Fried Chicken franchise. They wouldn't lie, would they?
Invented? You mean created. God created, not invented. There was no invention, because God already knew all the answers to the questions. He didn't have to have inventions.
I don't know. I just know that the 'domestic fowl' is the most numerous of any species of bird - according to 'A Thousand and One Things a Bright Boy Should Know'.
