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. Wings are used to get the chicken into a tree or the hen house rafters to sleep. They are used to scare intruders in extreme situations. 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.
