Chicken's Stretch

I know, sounds weird, but they do. If they're really tired or something, you'll see them fan out their wings. Their wingspan is surprisingly wide. Not that impressive sounding yet? Well listen to this: Nigerian chickens fly! The ones in our yard actually fly up into the trees and sleep there like regular birds! They even fly over our cement wall! Their really loud flyers, though: whenever they flap their wings as they fly, you can hear loud whoosh, whoosh, swoosh in succession. And usually, the cockerels will fly up someplace high, and then, when they get up there, they'll start cock-a-doodle-dooing. What I think is pretty stupid on human's part, is the name cock-a-doodle-doo for the sound the roosters make. They don't even sound like that! It's hard to explain what they really sound like. Or maybe just chickens outside of America sound different? Well, I didn't hang out with many chickens back in the states, so I don't know. Anyone on a farm with chickens, do they really sound like that?
