For many gerations a family of chickens lived in a peacefull a sun splashed glen. Now, if you have ever been around chickens you know that they don't have alot of favorite things to do with their day. One of the things they will make an effort to do(espeically during long dry summer days) is to take dust baths. So, many summer days this family of chickens would take would take a walk down the same path  that past chicken ancestors took to a favorite dust bath spot. The dust was fine and silty and jsut the thing for a chicken. During one night at triple overtime and with speed unmatched by today's standards a four lane blacktop highway was built right across the path that the chickens took to get to their baths. The next day during the first daily commute down the highway, amid a schreeching of brakes and pounding of horns The question was first yelled upon the wind by those who can yell the loudest in the morning(drivers who have not partaken in caffine based fluids)"Why did the chicken cross the road!"

A house fly in space would float weightless without moving.  However, if it started to flap its wings, it would create thrust and move by pushing the oxygen in the cabin.  Though, if it were outside the cabin (and able to breathe), it would flap its wings with no result as outside space is a vacuum and the flapping would creat no thrust.

Interesting fact.  God did NOT create chickens!  They are a human creation.  A hybrid of 2 other types of birds.  They wanted to be able to combine the tastiness of one bird with the domesticability of another, and voila, they got a chicken.

Flippin good joke ! \nNow we also know why the chicken crosses the road so often on answers....

Use chicken feed. Obviously legitimate.

Although chickens are not exactly the paragons of flight ability, there are several adaptations visible in their skeleton that are the legacy of their avian heritage and their ancestor's ability to fly.\n\n(note that the fact that chickens still possess these adaptations even though they are not strong fliers is yet another piece of evidence that evolution is true.  any creationists have any rebuttals?)\n\n- Hollow bones.  Most birds have hollow bones that reduce the mass of their skeleton, making it easier for them to achieve lift.\n\n- Keel-like carina.  Also known as the breastbone, this is the big keel in the KFC breast piece that allows for the attachment of those huge flight muscles that we find so tasty.\n\n- Enlarged flight muscles.  Attached to the carina are the two main muscles, one for bringing the wing in a downbeat and the other for lifting the wing again on the upbeat.  You can see these two muscles when you eat that KFC breast piece too.\n\n- Pillar-like Coracoids.  Bones on either side of the bird's shoulders that act as support for the rib cage, and keep it rigid and not collapsing when the wings flap.  You can see these coracoids on the KFC rib pieces.  On humans, the same bone is much smaller and fused with the scaphoid (shoulder bone).  It's the pointy part of your shoulder that you put in your opponent's solar plexus during a really good shoulder check.\n\n- Lack of teeth.  Birds have lost their heavy jaws full of teeth in favour of lighter keratinous beaks.  They have replaced much of the grinding function with a gizzard filled with easily replaced stones, thus achieving an efficient method of processing food with little biological cost to themselves.\n\n- Forelimbs modified into wings.  This one's pretty obvious.  Chickens have the same arm bones we do, but they're stretched out and fused in various locations to form a wing.  The thumb forms a small wing called the alar that acts almost like the flaps on an airplane wing to control low speed stalls and maneuverability.\n\n- Feathers.  Lightweight, keratinous structures designed to catch and funnel air in such as way as to make flight possible, and they can also act as a thermoregulatory structure to help maintain the high metabolism required for powered flight.  This isn't really a skeletal adaptation, but traces of where feathers attach can be seen on some of the wing bones.\n\n- Pygidium.  The tail of most birds has been reduced to a small nub.  This nub supports the tail feathers (which help maintain flight control with minimal weight), as well as the oil gland used to maintain the hygiene of feathers.  In a cooked chicken, the pygidium is often called the Pope's nose.\n\n- Pelvis.  The long shelf of the bird pelvis provides attachment for the muscles that control tail feather movement, as well as providing support and structure for bipedalism, which is what allows the bird to use its forelimbs for a different mode of locomotion.\n\nThere are probably many more, but that's what I can come up with off the top of my head.

A chicken's wings has several functions.\n\nA chicken's wings are still useful for flying shord distances. The average length of time that a chicken can stay in the air for out 5-10 seconds. They do this to outmanuver predators, and to increase their jumping ability.\n\nChickens use their wings a great deal for balance, and to slow their fall.\n\nThey also use their wings for breeding.\n\nMale chickens, as part of a mating ritual, will drop one wing and circle the female. This either means "oh my God I love you" or "ha! I gotcha now!".\n\nIt usually seems to mean more of the second one, but occasionally I will see a male do it without trying to mate at all, and it seems more like a request for companionship type of thing. Its actually quite sweet.\n\nThe females use their wings when they are incubating eggs in order to help regulate their temperature, along with herding and protecting chicks. When caught in a fire, Hens have been known to huddle their chicks under their wings, and even though the she is killed, her chicks survive.

It has the potential to be a chicken when it is fertilised (which most eggs aren't). It becomes a chicken when it hatches.

All living things are created by God (or whatever higher power you believe in) so the chicken had to come first.  The egg is not alive yet.

Yes,wild turkeys fly and so do chickens although some breeds fly better than others.Turkeys raised on turkey farms cannot fly. Wild turkeys are relatively weak fliers and will escape on foot if possible; at night, these birds roost in trees. They are capable of achieving speeds of 50 miles per hour (80 kilometers per hour) in flight.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_turkey\n\n\nSome breeds of chickens such as the game and bantam are decent flyers.

Guinea hens are often toted as tick eaters. Oxpeckers (those little birds you see perched on the back of rinos in the nature pics) are there partly to get ticks not that they won't eat flies too. I'd bet any insect eating bird and many other insect eating animals will happly add them to the menu without inquiring if they are insects or aracnids.
