natural chicken could not go over the barrier in the natural environment, They really do get over barriers- because they fly.This will remain true, regardless of your protestations.
I mentionned the evolutionary barrier (you can read again to confirm).
Natural selection dont give them further abilities to fly.
But perhaps human conducted evolution (like domestication) could help to step over ?
There is no evolutionary barrier to chickens flying. They all can, but most choose not to do so very far or very often.
Why Can’t Chickens Fly?When it comes down to it, there are two simple reasons why chickens are terrible flyers. Their bodies are too large and heavy for their small wings to lift in the air. Humans selectively bred chickens for size and weight, prizing the heaviest, fastest-growing specimens; not the ones that could fly the highest or farthest. Because of this, modern domesticated chickens are large, heavy birds with wings that are too small and inadequate for long-distance flight.
It is like saying that every human can think like Einstein, but most choose not to do so very far or very often.
