RE: Emergency food aid; you're doing it wrong.

in #idea8 years ago

I can confirm that chickens will glide/flap safely from at least roof top height (dont ask how I know). However I am not certain about dropped from greater height. Perhaps if there wings were not clipped. To stop them from flying away generally their wings need to be clipped.

Sort:  

I googled it extensively, but only found conjecture.
Keep in mind, if someone did this, they could select the breed, select the feed, select the wing conditions (clipped or unclipped), and even choose the flight speed and elevation on release.
I'm sure there'd be a way to do it quite ethically.

As mentioned before I can only vouch successful landing from roof top height (aprox 2.7m). 😉

I'm not asking how ;)
I'm just going off Zelda.
