Yes all chickens could fly, but the reason people doubt it is because chickens don't fly that high and don't fly that far.

no, they are similar to ostriches in that way. Though they do not lay the biggest bird egg in the world, and they are not tall, and they can not run, neither can fly. Neither can penguins. AA

Why chickens can not fly?

Normally, chickens can fly. Naturally raised, not scientifically bred chickens fly. Today's commercially raised chickens are bred for large breasts and small wings and therefore aren't able to fly. They are simply too heavy for the wingspan.


Can chickens actually fly or is it just nonsense?

Yes. A chicken is a bird and can fly. They do not fly far or high but chickens that have not had their flight feathers clipped will fly. Some breeds actually like to fly and do so regularly.


Can tukeys and chickens fly?

Yes, both chickens and turkey's can and do fly although they do not fly high or far. Many chickens are wing clipped when they are young but they are all capable of limited flights. Wild turkey's use flight to escape predators but the turkeys raised for meat on farms are often too heavy for any real spectacular flights.


How high can chickens fly?

Chickens can fly only a few feet at a time. Mostly up about 7 feet. If you have an eight foot fence they shouldn't fly up enough to sit on its top.


Why are chickens flightless?

Chickens are not flightless. Physiologically and structurally speaking, they are not flightless. They can fly short distances, but prefer not to, tending to only do so when they feel they are in danger.Modern chickens live in protected areas, and so are behaviourally flightless. They have no need to fly, as all their needs - food, water, shelter and protection - are on the ground.However, farmed hens may be flightless as they have had their wings clipped to stop them being able to fly.
