A farmer once told me that you could put chickens in the pool to cool down on hot days. Is that true?

Thanks!

all depends on how deep it is

I had a chicken get into the horses watering trough.. when i found it it was dead.. had drowned.. they swim pretty much like a rock...​
 
I have a plastic tray about 3' x 2' x 3" deep that I fill with water so they can wade in it. I have one pullet that will stay in there all say long.
 
I've seen pictures on here with chickens in the pool under close supervision. The chicks look extremely happy.
