Meet my Chick!

Can chickens swim????
Not really but they do float. They do catch hypothermia quickly. Here is a very young Ned having fallen into the pool. Watch as he cannot walk after he gets out. Ned does swim over to me. The normal body temp for a chicken is between 105°F and 107°F (40.6° and 41.7°C). He clearly could not maintain that temperature when in 84°F water despite the sun and hot air temp of 92°F. Even 92°F is below his normal body temp.
