You don't want to confuse 'stronger and smarter' with 'the fittest.' Chickens aren't particularly strong and aren't particularly smart. I suspect whatever wild cousins they have beat them out on both strength and intelligence, yet good luck matching the numbers of domesticated ones. Of course, Louis has already suggested the very concept of 'the fittest' may not mean much, since its definition is pretty circular. Anyhow, strength and intelligence are not necessary for biological success. Successful reproduction is the measure.
