Can a chicken swim?

Yes. A chicken can swim. Today, when I took my chickens out of their pen and put them in my backyard with the dogs, Angel scared one on accident, and a split secon later, the chicken(whos name is Mancala) flew up into the air and lept into the pool. I stood there amazed at how high Mancala jumped. Then I realized what had happened. I started freaking out as I wasn't sure if the chicken could swim or not. I started saying "O my gosh...O my gosh..." then "OmigoshOmigoshOmigoshOmigosh!!!!!" I didn't know what to do, so I ran to the fountain where the chicken was sqwaking and trying to jump out. Then she just stopped and floated like how you would see a duck float. Once I calmed down, I realized how funny she looked. So then I calmly pulled her out and set her on the grass. She didnt move for 5 minutes, probaly because she was in shock. But the funniest thing was was that Cameron had just asked if chickens could swim...I said no...But Mancala proved me wrong!!!(Although I don't think she would do it again if she had the choice!)
