“Chickens can’t fly!”

But the juveniles (pullets) can "really fly! My sweet little Mari will fly from the ground up to my chest and shoulders and I'm pretty tall myself!

How tall?

How tall?

5' 3"!

Aw I’m sorry

Aw, thank you so much!

Aw, thank you so much!

She was my chicken-ry bird! Like a falconry bird, but a chicken!

I’m 5’4, my, now young hen, could get up to my shoulder when she was much much smaller

Yeah, they always do/can when they're babies, she uses it to her advantage and flies up to my shoulder and over the 5 foot fence!
