can they fly that well?

[Ginevive]

I know that chix can basically hover and jump/fly up short distances. How well can your basic larger types fly? (meaning, like my rooster in my avatar?) I know that our bantam hen can fly into tall trees! Can these bigsters fly that high/well?

most big chickens can fly a little but not very far because they wieght to much

I don't know about that.... My BLRW roo, Hotwing, can darn near fly over our 6 foot fence! I had to clip his wings because I don't want him to get eaten by the neighbor's dog.

BLRW what in the name for them .i agree about them flying about 6 ft i meant in the trees

BLRW- blue laced red wyandotte.

My big roo can jump over a 4 or so feet tall fence. That's with effort though. Depends on how heavy your guy is. He's only jumped that high once though and that was because he didn't want to get caught.
