Im responsible for my 3 chickens....

Unless I mistreat or abuse them, then it is the responsibility of the community to act according to the various laws regarding them, and act accordingly.

And if your community believes that smoking herbs is an extremely dangerous crime, but you believe that it's a harmless form of recreation and allow your chickens to smoke whatever they want, does that allow the community to enter your coop with guns drawn and seize your chickens?

In Key West, we used to have Free Range for Chickens. Then we stopped doing that. No one told the Chickens that. They started singing "Free at last," and went on with their lives. It's really strange seeing a rooster nest on the top of a palm tree. (And it was really scary when one would fly down from that tree to attack you because you were too close to their territory.)

You mean it would fall down with some horizontal displacement and enough thrust not to harm itself, squawking and beating its wings erratically.

It's true that what chickens do is not true flight. However, their wing-assisted jumps are much more than what you give them credit for, especially if they're wild. Farm-raised chickens are deliberately fattened, and their bulk makes their attempts at flight a sad caricature, but wild chickens are much leaner, and able, as Tzor points out, to nest in trees.

I'm well aware. I grew up on a farm. I was just making a smarmy observation.

Yes but it is slow and it seems like they are just putting a move on the tree.

A real rooster whose wings have not been clipped at birth is a pretty nasty dive bomber.
