Penguins don’t fly because they have no natural land predators in Antarctica that they’d have to fly away from. Instead they became really good swimmers to get away from seals etc! That’s how evolution works – things only develop if there’s a need for them.
With chickens, they used to fly, but humans started selectively breading them so they had bigger breast muscles and there there was more meat on each chicken. In the end the muscles got so big that they couldn’t fly any more!
So penguins can’t fly because nature doesn’t need them to, and it’s our fault chickens can’t fly!
