Have the wild ancestors of domestic chickens survived?

Yes.

 

The ancestor of modern domestic chickens is the junglefowl (Gallus gallus), which inhabits eastern India, Indochina, and neighboring islands.

The junglefowl resembles mixed-breed domestic chickens but differs in its smaller size, slender build, and ability to fly well. Currently, these differences are becoming less noticeable as junglefowl are often crossbred with local domestic birds.
