I had to share this! This picture was posted on my little chicken community's yahoo group the other day. Lady is frantic she can't find her chicken. It is dark and they are searching like crazy fearing the worst. And then she looks up.....There she is, well over fifteen feet off the ground, and they still can't figure out how she got up there. No, the ladder was for the husband to try and get her. That is, after they poked her with anything long they could find--roofing material, brooms, fishing rods, etc. She didn't budge. He got up the ladder to get her, and she gracefully flapped and swooped down onto the driveway. Little stinker!
So, if you think chickens can't get very high off the ground. Think twice! It may also be one of their few defenses. Reading this gal's story made me laugh so hard. Plus it made it clear to me, I might want to keep my girl's flight feathers trimmed.
