I think that centrarchid his videos or at least pictures posted of his games flying. He even trained some to fly to him. Remember when arguing with authority figures sometime you win the battle and lose the war. Sourland who played Don Quixote with his teachers.

I'll video my girls next time I'm walking towards the run with their food and they're on the other side of the pasture.

"Flying" is relative. If you mean to fly, as in "take off from my place and land at the farm a mile down the road," then no, they can't do that. They aren't designed for sustained flight. If you are talking about the ability to use their wings to get off the ground to escape danger or confinement, well, yes, a lot of them can do that. I've had Leghorns that could fly over an eight foot fence if they felt a need to. We have some Seramas that do the best flying I've seen a chicken do yet. One of them got startled, flew over the workshop, changed directions in the air, and landed well on the other side - a total flight distance of about 50 feet, with the bird taking off from the ground and achieving an altitude of at least 15 feet when it passed over the workshop. If what the Wright brothers did is considered flying, then I'd consider what this chicken did flying, too.

Some chickens can get over 30 feet on the air an cover over an acre at a time. I call that flying....

On December 17, 1903, Orville Wright piloted the first powered airplane 20 feet above a wind-swept beach in North Carolina. The flight lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet.

I think they more of glide.. Usually they can't get wind from the air but the can if they're standing on something.

Bantams can fly like doves. I had a little white roo that would hit the treetops if he ever got the chance.

Yep. I've got one hen that will just out of the blue fly and scream at the very least 50 feet. She probably would go farther but there's usually a fence in the way.
