Why Hens Don’t Want to Fly? 👇

@BirdFactsHQ: We all know hens. Cute, clucky, and… surprisingly grounded.
Ever wondered why hens don’t soar like eagles or sparrows? Let’s peck into it 🐔✨

@EvolutionaryBeaks: Hens descend from wild junglefowl, which could fly short distances. Over thousands of years, humans bred them for meat and eggs, not flight. Evolution + farming = grounded chickens 🐓✂️

@BodyScienceBirds: Hens have heavy bodies and small wings. Their chest muscles are not strong enough for sustained flight, unlike migratory birds 🏋️‍♂️🕊️ Short bursts? Yes. Long flights? Impossible.

@FeatherFactLab: Most hens can flutter or glide for a few meters — like hopping over fences or escaping danger. They’re not completely flightless… just really lazy flyers 😉🪁

@EnergyEfficiencyBirds: Flying is energy-intensive. Hens conserve energy for egg production and foraging instead of flying long distances. Grounded life = efficient life 🥚⚡

@BehaviorBirdsDaily: Hens have strong instincts to stay near the ground. Predator avoidance? They prefer running, hiding, or roosting in low branches rather than risking flight. Safety first 🐔💨

@GeneticsOfChickens: Selective breeding reinforced flightlessness. Heavy breeds like broilers and egg-layers are too bulky to lift off, while lighter hens may manage tiny hops. Humans shaped their wings more than evolution did ✂️🐓

@FarmLifeFacts: Even when hens “fly,” it’s usually 1–3 meters, just enough to reach a perch or escape a fence. They’re skilled at short-distance gliding, not skydiving ✈️🚫

@FeatheredTakeaway: Hens don’t fly like other birds because of body structure, genetics, and evolution shaped by humans. Grounded, but perfectly adapted to their clucky lifestyle 🐔🌿✨
