The way we make sure a chicken will never fly is when they are born clip the last wing joint completly off and treat with an antiseptic sray. Only do one side, and the bird will never fly in it's lifetime.

I usually do better than that and look at what I've pasted, to be sure I don't do something like this. Sigh.
