They can swim for short distances. If you have young chicks that might be a problem. I have a creek and so far the only problem has been the mink coming up the creek from the forest preserve. Water attracts all predators.
The oldest is a hatchery barred Rock. Then a couple are half black jersey giant and another is half buff Orpington. Most are a mixture of the above breeds along with CX and standard dark Cornish. The extra cockerels are what I hatch for the freezer.
