    As the title states. Can a chicken fly?

    Supposedly chickens can fly for short distances or to perch itself on a tree to roost or escape predators. Sometimes chickens glide and that can be confused by flight. So, if a chicken can fly, are we using the word "to fly" in some different sense than an object that can maintain flight?

    Sorry @Willows but the "interesting stuff" super-category is not to be interpreted as "random stuff". It's for serious politics/current affairs/science etc. Random stuff that pops into your head can remain in the Shoutbox, or if you really think it merits an OP (this doesn't imo) elsewhere in the Lounge.
