im talking bout u brodie
cant really rebuke that, solid argument.
OBJECTION!
Yes. Your chickens can fly! However, their flying capabilities cannot be compared to an eagle’s. But they do have wings and therefore can use them in order to fly! This is actually the only way birds can protect themselves from possible dangers and predators. On account of that, as chickens do descend from a wild jungle fowl from Asia, they have this instinct deeply rooted in their species. They also fly in order to explore the surroundings around them. They are very curious animals and they simply love exploring!
Nonetheless, being domesticated, their inclination towards flying might have been diminished. So, perhaps even if you do own chickens, you have never seen them fly. There are also certain chicken breeds that are limited in flying because of their weight.
How Far Can Chickens Fly
We have learned that chickens can fly. But how far can they fly and for how long? In this regard, domestic chickens cannot fly for long and cannot reach faraway destinations. However, the world’s record for the longest chicken flight is 13 seconds. So the question is how far can a chicken fly in 13 seconds? I am telling you, it is quite a length! It appears that in a 13 second’s flight, a chicken can travel over 300 feet! So that is something, right?
Can Chickens Fly Over The Fence?
Again, the answer is yes. They can and they most certainly will. As a matter of fact, your chickens will fly exactly where you don’t want them to. So keep an eye out for that fence! You might also reconsider adding a few inches to it. In their flying trip, your chickens will eventually get stuck in the fence but don’t expect them to give in. They will struggle and struggle until their purpose is accomplished and they land on the other side! It is not a pretty sight!
When it comes to heavy breeds of chickens, the chances are lower for them to succeed in flying over the fence.
When Can Baby Chicks Begin to Fly
Baby chicks will develop wings and will eventually experiment with them while growing up. As they are curious animals, they enjoy exploring and baby chicks make no exception. Therefore, you will find them flying around in no time!
Can All Chickens Fly?
As I mentioned before, chickens present different particularities, according to the breed they derive from. So, I will enumerate a couple of breeds and note their behavior in relation to flying.
They are the best at flying when they are light and leaving the ground. It’s not an impossible challenge for them.
Polish and Silkies are fancy breeds that are unlikely to experiment in flying around.
Barred Rock, australorp are heavier chickens, therefore their weight kind of prevents them from exploring the air.
Araucanas is a breed that is most likely to enjoy flying. They present lighter bodies.
