Do chickens walk upside down?

When a human walks upside down, he is walking using his hands to balance and move his body. A chicken does not have hands. They have wings.

They do not have the ability to be raised above the chicken's head and be used to support and balance the body, much less move the body backwards or forward. No, chickens do NOT walk upside down.

How do flies walk on ceilings?

You've probably seen a fly scurrying across your ceiling. Although its body is totally upside down, it doesn't fall off. Flies have six legs attached to the thorax, or middle section, of their bodies. Each leg has a foot. On the underside of each foot are two tiny claws. Under each claw is a hairy pad called a pulvillus. These pads are covered in a sticky, glue-like liquid. When a fly walks on the ceiling or any other surface, the pads stick or clinglong enough forthe fly to keep its balance. Thislets flies walk upside down without falling off.
