Can chickens get hit by lightning?

Any object can get hit by lighting. Here are two general rules, first, the taller the object is (like trees), the greater the chances the object can be hit by lighting (because lighting hits the tallest object in the effected area). Second, the closer the object A is to a taller object (like a tree), the greater the chances the that lighting can indirectly hit the object A. Why? Lighting is electricity and electricity travels in circuits, so when lighting hits the tree, it travels into the ground and spreads into the ground, eventually diluting it. If object A is near it, the electricity can travel into the object. In this case Object A is the chicken. So yes, a chicken can get indirectly hit by lighting.


If you are swimming in an ocean and lightning strikes the ocean would survive?

Yes, you would likely survive because water is a good conductor of electricity and the current from the lightning would disperse in the water. However, it is important to get out of the water as soon as possible to avoid any potential dangers from subsequent strikes or nearby electric currents.
