It is common for owned chickens to have their wing tips clipped so that they cannot fly. Also, many chickens are bred to be fat and juicy, so they're simply too big to fly. Otherwise, chickens can totally fly short distances without issue. My folks own chickens, so I've learned a bit about em over the years.

My parents had chickens when we were growing up. Their kitchen has these low windows around the dining area and there were garden chairs against the outside wall.

If we ever left a bowl of grapes on the dining table, you'd often find the chickens perched on the back of the chairs staring at them through the window. They are obsessed with grapes.

Reply to Sherbet Land Pixel Art - Mario Kart Double Dash by pixel_jess

Now this gives me memories. I remember getting a week off of school when I was 6 because I had the flu, and the whole week I played Double Dash. I very quickly forgot how miserable I was and just had fun. I always used to drive to the edges of courses and look off into the horizon and wish I could go into the TV to explore them myself - especially on courses like DK Mountain, Rainbow Road, or Toad City, Dry Dry Desert, or Toad Bridge. That wanderlust which was awoken in me never died, and in my adult life I’ve now been to Vietnam, lived in Italy, and next year I’ll be moving to Madagascar! And in some small way, I have Mario Kart: Double Dash to thank in part for that. Thanks for making this gif; very cool!
