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.
