Pete Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 The thought just popped in my head the other day. What happens if you stick a chicken in a bath of water (other than feathers). I know they make a piss poor attempt and flying, but can they swim? If they float - do they float the right way up I wonder. I guess not having webbed feat would mean they'd have to paddle like buggery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted November 17, 2005 Author Share Posted November 17, 2005 why not Ask Jeaves lol I did. From a "how to keep chickens" site... "If you happen to live near a stream, brook a lake no need not put up a fence there as chickens cannot swim." I wonder what does happen if you dunk one in water though?

Charlotte Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 I did. From a "how to keep chickens" site... "If you happen to live near a stream, brook a lake no need not put up a fence there as chickens cannot swim." I wonder what does happen if you dunk one in water though? So are they saying put one up or not? that doesn't really make sense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey76364 Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 but you will need a fencse still as foxes can swim so they will swim across and eat the chickens No winning there ... at leaste we know the chicken needs a fence lol Bet they just flap about like mad in water then just end up bobbing around upside down when they cant take any more lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Yes they can swim, not well, and not through choice, as chickens do NOT like getting wet. Emus, ostriches and rheas can all swim, emus love water and are good strong swimmers. See http://newbury-house.com/wet_emu.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
