So nature probably decided they no longer need their wings to fly, which probably made them ideal birds to be domesticated. This trend will probably continue as long as they still live in forests. | |

They're not great at it, sure, but they definitely can get up to elevated perches relatively safe from ground-level predators. Commercial poultry only can't fly because they've been fattened up to ludicrous proportions and are put in cramped spaces with nowhere to fly. | |
