why did the chicken cross the road? because it had been trained to come when called

[cimorene]

ME: Doves don’t provide tons of delicious chicken eggs, but chickens can’t be flight trained.

MY WIFE: Of course chickens can fly. You know about my chicken who could fly. Chickens just DON’T fly because they don’t need to.

also from Tumblr yesterday

So, of course my ultimate life goal evolves somewhat - I always want to move to Pargas, but I used to want sheep, then goats, and now I think maybe just chickens (maybe also goats). NEW PLAN:

1. Move to Pargas
2. Get fancy chickens
3. Flight train said chickens
4. ??
5. Profit (probably not profit; just enjoy flying chickens)

Flying chickens are definitely a reward unto themselves :D

There are a few videos on YouTube of chickens flying in slow motion that are fairly mesmerizing and occasionally very funny.

If I had a passel of chickens I would definitely take the time to flight train them! XD
