January to February 2024 Duckling Hatch-Along!

Mine, with the exception of a silkied hen and two brahma hens, fly very very well. You should see me trying to get the birds out of trees...

Mine are “ahem” chunky, except the Welsummer but she’s lazy

Honestly, same

Or muscovies. Or these

That’s the “limited” flight that I meant

Like my fat butt chickens trying to fly? If they run fast enough they can get about an inch off the ground. Should have named them Wilbur and Orville…

I actually had a Khaki / Rouen mix that made some huge distance off the ground, however it was an extremely windy day. Maybe I can find a video of it.

Like the tail wind they recorded a week or 2 ago? They clocked 3 separate transatlantic flights at over 800 MPH, that’s supersonic! One arrived in London over an hour early

I wouldn't call that limited, low to the ground, yes. With the help of a wind gust, that duck will be gone

Mine can't flap for shiz. Except to get up on the trampoline. Idk why.

Now if one of your boys were up on the trampoline too, I’d bet your hens could get some air!

As long as they don't run away permanently it will be fine. Why would they want to leave anyways

Most of your birds aren't very "lightweight", due to their breeds

They tried to jump with one of the cats one time. After being warned not to do it of course. Poor cat freaked the fudge out and got the heck outta dodge
