Can chickens swim?

[Shirley_Ujest]

Come now HYZENTHLAY. Of course chickens can swim.

The ONLY reason they do not excell at the exercise is that throughout history they have been cooped up in mainly agricultural settings. Chickens had VERY little access to the best places to hone their skills at swimming.

The most attractive and safest places to learn and do well at swimming were only for the most affluent of birds such as ducks, geese, and swans!

To even suggest there may be reasons other than cultural and socio-economic deprivation that chickens can not swim as well as other birds borders on ornithologic racism and bigotry!

I for one am appalled!

FOWL!

Well, someone had to say it.

This thread just screams for a Chicken of the Sea joke.

But I’m not gonna do it. Nope.
