There was a chicken on our farm in Va. She was very curvy.. so much so that we called her Hefty. And despite her weight, she would occasionallly fly uo to join me on the second floor balcony of the old milk house.. An awesome feat!
One Boxing Day when I was a kid, I opened the chicken coop door and one of the young Bantam hens actually flew out! She was working hard and managed to climb through the air slowly in a straight line, ran right into a big tree. She was stuck up there and my dad sent me up to get her down.

What a great name! Chickens have huge personalities, don't they.
They really do.. and more often than not, they make me laugh.
Whew! This story had me worried.

So I know that at least some chickens can fly.
I loved this plucky chicken., especially her little songs.
