gongladosh Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 it depends on how many feathers they have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkysmum Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Orps & recharged batts - what a lovely combination Our Boris has never left the ground I don't think & we've had her almost 3 yrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyChickenLover- Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 I don't think they can fly any more than other chookies can. They might be able to muster a flappy jump though. If you're worried you could always clip the primary flight feathers on one of their wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Yes they can, but in my experience they are not in the slightest bit interested in flying. Mine have only ever flown up onto the top of their run a couple of times - when I put some food up there out of the way of them They spend all day in an outdoor enclosure with 4ft high netting, not once have they flown over that, although they have pushed their way under it and onto my veg patch many times!

bostock422 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 if you're scared of them flying you could clip their wings, that's always an option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
