No point In complicating the situation. Cats raise Squirrel so it's possible with common sense..Usually they won’t drown, I’ve heard some would swim. But I would keep the water very shallow in case and trim around the silkies eyes.

I would point out that squirrels don't swim... I'm sure it has been done, but those other people used/risked their own Silkie. But up to you. Do what you want, you're going to anyway. But even if I was your friend, my Silkie hen would not be going to your house to live with ducks. Male ducks are a danger to hens due to a very different anatomy.No point In complicating the situation. Cats raise Squirrel so it's possible with common sense..![]()

Was a joke and wasn't received...I have yet to see any squirrel families doing the backstroke at the local lake... Maybe they are different where you live? Or were those really otters?
