I saw a domestic chicken jump last week, but not for a practical goal. About 2 weeks old, it suddenly realised its mum and siblings had left it behind while busily pecking at crushed grain. It leapt about twice its height, wings outstretched, peeping, and with tiny wings still out like a child playing aeroplanes, started frantically running after them.
