[Justino]

why do chickens flap their wings while the stand still. all my hens do and i was wondering why they do it...

Why do you stretch sometimes? Same reasons.

I think it's an exercise/stretching thing...I noticed that my Brahma used to do it alot...and my little Silkie mix does it more than my Leghorn.

lol my hens also spur like my roos did, is this just a dominance thing they learned from the roos that i had?
