I've read Sumatras are to be the best, but have no personal knowledge.

My phoenix and d'uccle's and sebrites are extremely good flyers. Most bantams are great at flying because they are small and lightweight.

from California! My chickens can fly up on top of a 5 foot fence but only if I lock them in the garden and they want out.

My best flier is my Norwegian Jaerhon hen. She is small and friendly, but can fly up into my oak trees instantly if something scares her.

i would love a breed of chicken that could fly well and would go with my welsumer so it would encourage the others to fly as well (their wings are not clipped). do you have any ideas.

Maybe you just need some more Welsummers? They are on my list. If things go well with the 12 chickens we have now, "chicken math" will likely take hold so I need a list!

I know but i want to expand the different breeds i have.
