In thailand those gamy chickens often take a waterbath instead of a sandbath.
Some of our dutch breeds like groningen gulls scratch in shallow water or mud.
I was baffled.

haha, I was only joking. I thought chickens hated water and any way their feathers don't allow for that much water. They will get water logged!

I do know that Silkies can float in water (never tried it with other birds) so if you could teach a Silkie to like water, you might have a swimming chicken.

But their feathers would get soaked, and it takes forever for chickens to dry.
