Because chicken as we know them, are a degenerated breed of the wild chicken that is fitter and is actually able to fly
As an analogy, imagine an alien has never seen any human other than the average US citizen (morbidly obese)
Suddenly he see a freak obese US citizen but with leg instead of arm that walk on 4. The alien will say that it's much better looking because it's closer to a cow
Have you ever raised chickens? They absolutely can fly like their nondomesticated brethren. Home flocks either clip a wing or deal with them flying. I can't tell you how many times neighbors called to come collect my chickens that flew over the privacy fences.
Okay we found an older.. heirloom? Chicken in our yard and that thing could fly to the TOP of a tree. No like how our chicken can get over their fence… it flew. Wild. We put it in a pen and it got eaten by a raccoon the next day 😩

Why does this look functionally better than a normal chick?
