My hamburgs seem to be my best flyers out of my bunch.

Ill second that my OEGBs are very flighty.

OEGB can really fly.

That said, I've seen some svelt RIRs really get some air under their wings.

So the OEGB's have a lot of flight in them , is this true for both sex's or just the roo's?

Don't have a clue as to breed, (it was long before I knew much of anything about chickens) but Henrietta, our first chicken, who came with our house flew from the middle of the large front yard, OVER the house and well into the backyard (past the pool) shortly before we bought it. My son was trying to catch her and she had had enough. That had to have been nearly 100' across and 15' high.

My Sebrights definitely, though it's usually the hens that actually fly. Oh and my EE can fly almost just as well.
