According to Guinness World Book the longest verified flight of a domestic chicken is 13 seconds and 301.5 feet distance.



My run is about 4 ft high. If you clip the feathers on one wing of each bird it will help.

Make sure there is no blood in the shaft of the feather before you clip or your bird may bleed to death.

On some birds you may even have to clip a few secondary flight feathers.

One wing throws the bird off balance and is more effective than trimming equal amounts off both wings.

Why can chickens fly? I thought they couldn't because they didn't have enough feathers on their wings.
If they are determined enough, they can and will get out, but five feet tall should hold most of them pretty well. They can easily jump over four feet not even using their wings. What they do is latch onto the side of the gate with their talons and flap their wings and climb up!!!
