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.

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.

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.

Yup.
