The 'Inaccessible Island Rail' is the smallest flightles bird in the world. Reaching a mere 12.5cm/5inches in length and weighing 35g/1.45oz, this tiny bird can only be found in the southern Atlantic Tristan da Cunha Islands (on Inaccessible Island in the Tristan Archipelago).

No. Physiologically and structurally speaking, chickens are not flightless. They can fly short distances, but prefer not to, tending to only do so when they feel they are in danger. Chickens are perching birds, and they prefer to be able to roost off the ground at night. This involves a certain degree of flight.

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.
