Dude... a rooster -is- a chicken, the same way that a father is a parent. It just isn't a hen.

Honestly, kids this days. ;)

Obviously not, if you're playing unglued.

"That's stupid! Chicken's can't fly!"

They are naturally able to fly, though most commercially-raised chickens grow much too fat to fly, let alone walk.

Probably a little better than Leonin Skyhunter if you don't care about creature types. Or getting tired. And your group allows Un- cards.

I love that they actually wrote a poem in the form of Anglo-Saxon alliterative verse for the flavor text. That's the same style that Beowulf is written in, as well as the Rohirric poems in Lord of the Rings.

And chickens can fly, they're just really, really bad at it.

It's a 2/2 flier for two. Not bad, particularly since it's Hurricane proof.

Bonus points if you do the Arrested Development chicken dance.

Wikipedia:

Domestic chickens are not capable of long distance flight, although lighter birds are generally capable of flying for short distances, such as over fences or into trees (where they would naturally roost). Chickens may occasionally fly briefly to explore their surroundings, but generally do so only to flee perceived danger.

What Wikipedia forgot to write is that you only have to clap to make them fly... *clap*clap*

What's that? You deal 2 damage to all creatures without flying? Well in response I *CLUCK CLUCK* give my chicken flying.

Flavor text parodies Benthic Behemoth?
