Chickens can typically fly about three or four feet in the air even higher when frightened, however; if you own one be forewarned, they occasionally fly onto rooftops and trees and discover that they cannot fly down again and must be rescued.

It depends how hard you kick it up the a____
OK Roy, be serious.Maybe some of the old fashioned game cocks and bantams can make it over the chicken wire. A few thousand years of domestication has led to the chicken been virtually flightless, "un-natural selection" if you like.The chicken has little need for its wings, the domestic fowl has been bred more for meat and eggs so the flight muscles have become diminished at the expense of a broader body frame.If one falls from the hen house roof, it can flap its wings to break its fall.

I've never seen a chicken fly, but I have seen a horsefly.
Remember, time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like the bananas.

More or less, depending on their race. Most breeds are too heavy to fly any distance, but they all can fly.

Yes. Especially when it is in shock. But it does not fly as high as a bird. I've seen it.

Yes. Give them a chance and they like to roost in trees for the night!
