Chickens naturally fly. Not well or far, but they can get in a tree to roost if they want. That's why they get their wings clipped.

Farmers take that away from them, so all they have left is fight.

I also want to include turkeys even though they're not included in the image. Turkeys like running down hills, since they're perfect runways for takeoff. Then they land in lower-hanging sturdy branches.

It's quite cute.

turkeys straight up fly, they're not even semi flighted like chickens

Imagine if someone came along and clipped all the fingers off your hand...

I think it's more like clipping some of your toes so you couldn't run too far.

More accurately toenails. Only the feather is cut, as far as I know.

I think both ways are done. Never felt the need to do either with mine though. They know when to come in for the night regardless.
