It kind of depends on the species of chickadee - but I'd go off of the Black-capped Chickadee at 16 days.
Chickadees have a bounding flight, going up and down as they move.
Many species have that "bounding" flight, including chickadees, and woodpeckers. It may be an adaptation to confuse potential predators.
The bird brings it's wings to it's side and falls through the air (sorta) then flaps again repeating the same process.
Silkies are considered non-flyers. They can jump up to roost or into a nesting box. They have "ostrich" soft type feathering and do no have the normal flight feathers.

There are few predators of black-capped chickadees, most deaths are the result of extreme cold. Their small size, alertness, and agile flight make them difficult to capture. However, small raptors and owls, such as American kestrels, Cooper's hawks, and large, predatory perching birds such as northern shrikes are sometimes able to catch them in flight. Small squirrels, such as eastern chipmunks, and climbing snakes, like smooth green snakes may prey on nestlings and eggs.

Whooping Cranes eat a wide variety of prey, even the season influences what they eat to a large extent. When they are preparing for their migration, and nesting season, the Whooping Crane will concentrate on Blue Crabs if available, eating as much as possible. They are an excellent source of protein, and fat, and both are what the Whooping Crane needs plenty of for the long flight, and their nesting season. They also eat crayfish, shellfish, frogs, insects, plants, other crabs with the Blue Crabs, other aquatic species and occasionally small fish.
No, the collective noun 'flight' is not used for chickens. A flight of birds is a group of birds of a type that fly together. Chickens, even wild chickens, don't fly in groups.The collective nouns for chickens are:a brood of chickensa chattering of chickensa clutch of chickensa flock of chickensa peep of chickensThe collective noun 'flight' is used for:a flight of beesa flight of birdsa flight of butterfliesa flight of cormorantsa flight of dovesa flight of dragonsa flight of goshawksa flight of grousea flight of insectsa flight of pigeonsa flight of storksa flight of swallowsa flight of swans
Young bald eagles typically shed their down feathers and grow primary feathers around 10 - 12 weeks after hatching. It is around this time that they will attempt their first flight. Those that survive (about 40% don't) will hang around the nest for another four to five weeks while their primary feathers continue to grow and strengthen. Therefore, a bald eagle will leave the next permanently around 14 - 17 weeks after hatching.
