Q: Can Chickens Fly?
A: Better than a penguin, emu, kagu, kiwi, and ostrich combined. However, not that well compared to most other birds. The World's record for a nonstop chicken flight is a little more than 230 yards.

Q: Which Came First?
A: According to National Geographic, scientists seem to have settled the old dispute over which came first – the chicken or the egg. They say that reptiles were laying eggs thousands of years before chickens appeared, and the first chicken came from an egg laid by a bird that was not quite a chicken. Thus, the egg came first.

News Report (UPI), Cairo, Egypt, August 31, 1995:
Six people drowned Monday while trying to rescue a chicken that fell into a well in southern Egypt. An 18 year-old farmer was the first to descend into the 60-foot well. He drowned, apparently after an undercurrent in the water pulled him down, police said. His sister and two brothers, none of whom could swim well, went in one by one to help him, but also drowned. Two elderly farmers then cam to help, but they apparently were pulled by the same undercurrent. The bodies of the six were later pulled out of the well in the village of Nazlat Imar 240 miles south of Cairo. The chicken was also pulled out. It survived.
