I had a dream last night about being on an old-style sailing ship. The crew member in the crow's nest was a chicken. It was a little odd, so I asked why there was a chicken on lookout. The quartermaster said, "Well, their heads can lock in place while they're moving, so their line of sight is stable. They don't get seasick." The chicken agreed, and said it was a decent enough job for a crewmember without hands.

I woke up, and obviously was a little confused by what the hell my brain threw at me. But it does posit the question, do chickens get seasick?

I have never vomited from sea sickness, but my god have I been sea sick. Mostly just go below deck and nap.

Point is, I think ability to vomit and ability to feel nausea are probably unrelated things.
