what chicken does buffalo wings come from?

okay so i thought that they come from cornish hens but i think that even they are too big so what chickens do buffalo wings come from? or perhaps they use the baby chickens? umm..it seems they are fully grown though when u eat the buffalo wings, so does anyone know? if they come from regular chickens why are they so small? im not convinced that it doesnt come from a different breed of chicken. any who ill continue to search

1. They come from regular chickens...
2. Buffalo wings are regular chicken wings. The 'buffalo' part refers to the sauce and seasonings they are cooked in. EDIT: Sometimes, they cut the end of the wing off. And some chickens are just smaller than others. IDK. It's not a 'special chicken,' trust me. EDIT, again: Then why do all 'buffalo chicken' recipes call for regular chicken wings? Seriously, do you think they breed special chickens just for their wings?
3. Regular chickens. I once heard that "buffalo" to describe the sauce is because it was created in Buffalo, NY. Can any New Yorkers elaborate?
