There are 2 versions the Lesser and Greater Prairie Chicken Wikipedia has articles on both Lesser: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesser_Prairie_Chicken Greater: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Prairie_Chicken They say it is a distant relative of the Grouse.
The greater prairie chicken belongs to the following levels of classification: Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Aves Order: Galliformes Family: Phasianidae Genus: Tympanuchus Species: T. cupido Subspecies (if specified): T. c. pinnatus, for the greater prairie chicken.
A greater prarie chicken is not a mammal for the fact that it lays eggs. Mammals are animals that give birth to live babies.The above answer is only partly correct in that the greater prairie chicken (a grouse) is not a mammal, but not because it lays eggs, it is because it does not have mammary (milk) glands, sometimes called teats or tits. Some mammals do, in fact, lay eggs (such as the platypus), but they still feed their newborns from mammary glands. Therefore, not all mammals give birth to live babies (though most do), but all mammals have mammary glands, thus the name mammal.
Yes. Grouse is slightly "gamier" and drier. In flavor, grouse reminds me of the dark meat of a chicken.
The species that best matches this description would be the Sharp-tailed Grouse. They are known to inhabit open grasslands and prairies across North America.

A grouse is a heavy-bodied bird related to chickens and other species in the order Galliformes. Grouse are edible like their chicken relatives.
Some endangered animals in prairies or temperate grasslands include the black-footed ferret, swift fox, mountain plover, and greater sage-grouse. Loss of habitat due to agriculture, urban development, and climate change are some of the threats they face. Conservation efforts are being made to protect and restore these species and their habitats.
