The main difference between the two is that Anseriformes are well suited to a life in the water, and Galliformes are more suited to a life on land.
Anseriformes include ducks, geese and swans. They have webbed feet, short legs, dense waterproof plumage and flattened (dorsoventrally) bills. They are well adapted to a life in water.
Galliformes include chickens, turkeys, pheasants and quail. They have large, stout legs and are suited to a terrestrial lifestyle (on land). They are not well suited to flying.

What is the classification of a chicken?
Domestic chickens (Gallus gallus) are of the family Phasianidae (pheasant-like birds), order Galliformes. To compare degrees of relatedness, guinea fowl are also of the order Galliformes, but not of the family Phasianidae. Turkeys are considered to be of the family Phasianidae, but were formerly classed in their own family, Meleagrididae. The red jungle fowl, from which the domestic chicken descends, is the same species. And of course, like all birds, chickens are of the class Aves.The seven levels of classification of a chicken are Animalia, Chordata, Aves, Galliformes, Phasianidae, Phasianinae, Gallus. The species of a domesticated chicken is G. Gallus, and the subspecies is G. g. domesticus.
