Unless the wing tips have been clipped they can fly with them. Even if they have had them clipped they can get some lift with them and use them to get up to their perch at night. They often use them to display anger or excitement and to protect their chicks keeping them warm and safe.

Do chickens really have fingers?

Chicken fingers are cuts of breast meat approximately three inches long. Chickens have wings and toes, but no fingers. They used to, but some fella named Sanders took em' all and made a fortune selling them. Even bought an honorary military title with the earnings. Hens now a days just come with wings but they are getting rarer now since Sanders ran outta fingers and started selling wings, when they run out watch for chicken toes and a product called "the parsons nose" soon to be marketed ( the parsons nose is the south end of a north bound chicken) "wink."
