This is a new one for me! I've never seen a chicken in water before...I assumed they would not like it???

Ok, to get technical...is she swimming or just floating? Can she go where she wants to go or does she just let the waves take her?

I think your chickens are dogs in disguise.

Dandelion just floats. Rue, my other buff, actually swims.

Some chickens hate water. Others don't. I only let them in the pool when it is over 90 degrees and they are panting. It cools them off. Chickens are not very heat-tolerant and it can be very dangerous for them.

For those of you that don't know, I have chickens They are spoiled rotten and live in this palace:



I have a hen who is broody (sits on eggs trying to hatch them.) They are not fertile and she has been doing this for 5 months. She's lost a lot of weight and she's miserable. So last night I got fed up and went to Tractor supply, bought 6 2 day old chicks and snuck them under her in the middle of the night. Not a PEEP. Woke up this morning and she was SOOOOOOO happy to be a mom! And the chicks just love her!

This is so cute!

OMG they were sleeping in a "nest" in my garden yesterday with Kevin watching over them. They are REALLY good flyers.

I had heard that white leghorns could fly very well, but didn't expect a baby to fly up into my dogwood to eat bugs!

They were milling around in the chicken run yesterday morning with all the other chickens. I think they have all been fooled into thinking Kevin hatched babies too. They accept them as part of the flock.

Awwwww

 

[tyty333]

Just so cute...and Kevin just looks like such a great mom!

The swimming chicken video.... Who would have thought???

 

[minousbijoux]

Everything about this thread is perfect. Of COURSE your chicken swims. Of COURSE you knew she needed chicks to fulfill her. And of COURSE her name is Kevin...

As are your chickens, Soxfan, you are awesome!
