Chickens can fly.
Ok, I’m just going to add this here for everyone. Free range + not being a fast growing freak of nature breed = birds that perfer the ground but can absolutely fly. Chickens flying
They can but they don’t, so maybe you should watch your mouth.
I take it that you’ve never had chickens.
We actually did, they very seldom got off the ground, just enough to force you to put a cage on top and get into trees when you need to catch them but besides that they stay on the ground
We find ours in trees all the time, plus they’ll happily fly over their fence to wander around the property.
They are ground birds so they spend most of their time on the ground, similar to turkeys and grouse. Domesticated chickens fly a bit less because of breeding for more meat. However, to say they can’t fly is just not true. A better choice would have been; a kiwi, steamer ducks, cassowary, kakapo, weka, takahe, or an emu.
Ehh. They can double jump
No they can actually fly, it’s just most birds are encouraged not to by their enclosure. So they simply don’t have the muscles to get much air. If you were to take the time to build up those muscles they would be able to fly.
In a Buzz Lightyear kind of fashion. Most of the time, that’s good enough.
No, they can actually fly. Chickens bred and kept for meat have trouble flying, but that is because they are too heavy for that very reason. Or they were kept in an enclosure that they could not exercise their wings. They don’t have the muscles to get off the ground. Parrots kept in a too small cage without being let out have the same problem. They could fly if they were allowed to build up those muscles.
I’ve never seen a chicken actually fly.
I’ve got heritage breeds, olive eggers and buff Orpington, and they fly just fine. The Orpington have really fluffy pants on, but both breeds are pretty lean (not really meat birds, more cold-hardy egg layers) and have no issues taking flight. They even fly across the yard for snack time, or when they spot a hawk/eagle.
They aren’t likely to be flying any significant distance, since they prefer running and staying home where they’ve got a good deal, but they could if they had to.

The white chickens are usually for meat, like a cornish cross, and they are typically caged. The one in the video looks to be free range and definitely not a cornish cross.
Are you suggesting chickens migrate?
No, many birds don’t migrate but can still fly.
Arguably, penguins fly under water because the movement resembles flying more than swimming in birds that do both. But that’s semantics. Don’t mess with them.
I don’t think I’ve ever been in a meme before.
That’s you with the bat isn’t it?
If it ain’t black and white, peck scratch and bite
By this logic, I’m all fight as well.
Come at me.
Nah man, you come at me, and I evolve in hyperspeed and become a redbull commercial
Come at me and I become a red Bull extreme sports event dude and just fucking die without anyone ever caring about it again
