thanks for all your answers. they have been a great help. im still yet to decide but i am more lightly to get a phoenix due to a near breeder.yippiechickie.gif            "FLY LITTLE CHICKD.gifFLY"
 

I love chickens!!! I have 1 Welsummer, 3 Ex-Battery hens, a Wyandotte Hen and a Wyandotte Rooster. Phoenix LF are my favourite breed of chicken and I am constantly on the look out for a trio for sale in the West Midlands(England).

My phoenix and d'uccle's and sebrites are extremely good flyers. Most bantams are great at flying because they are small and lightweight.

welcome-byc.gif from California! My chickens can fly up on top of a 5 foot fence but only if I lock them in the garden and they want out.

My best flier is my Norwegian Jaerhon hen. She is small and friendly, but can fly up into my oak trees instantly if something scares her.

Maybe you just need some more Welsummers? They are on my list. If things go well with the 12 chickens we have now, "chicken math" will likely take hold so I need a list! big_smile.png
