Domestic egg-laying hens, Gallus gallus domesticus, do not modulate flapping flight performance in response to wing condition

Wild birds modulate wing and whole-body kinematics to adjust their flight patterns and trajectories when wing loading increases flight power requirements. Domestic chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) in backyards and farms exhibit feather loss, naturally high wing loading, and limited flight capabil...
