Question

Answer 2

Answer 3

Answer 4

Yes i think so, not sure

Answer 5

The theory that chickens can swim will probably stir up a debate when discussed amongst any group of intelligent human beings. Some will say that it is absolutely unbelieveable to think a chicken can swim and others will argue why not? Some of the arguments I have heard people use to dispel this theory are as follows:

1. They don't have webbed feet.

2. They don't have waterproof feathers.

3. They are too heavy and will sink.

4. They lack the ability to right themselves in a water environment.

Answer 6

nope I have found dead chickens in my pond : (

Answer 7

Not for a long time, and they're not that smart so they'll swim the opposite way they entered the water in hopes of getting out.
