I think each country tried to give a name in keeping with the strangeness of the animal’s appearance. Animal that comes from the Americas. In French “poule d’Inde”, since we believed that America was India!
In France it’s called “dinde”, because it originally was called “poule d’Inde” (Chicken from India)… So, YES it is called “Indian chicken”.
in french we call this bird “dinde” or “dindon”, not indian chicken.
