Can a chicken hold its breath?

Chickens do not have the ability to hold their breath in the same way humans can. Chickens have a respiratory system that includes air sacs connected to their lungs, allowing for a continuous flow of air in and out of their bodies. They do not have the same voluntary control over their breathing as humans do.
