I am at a loss as to what happened yesterday. We've used the 5 gallon buckets as nesting boxes for about 4 years now and never had any problems. Yesterday I went out to collect any eggs and when I opened the coop door, the bucket was standing up, upside down which was weird. I went to turn it over and it was heavy. When I flipped it over, one of my easter egger chickens was dead in it. It's neck was all curved over and it honestly looks as though it had gotten stuck in there. Is that even possible? I'm just so upset because it probably died slowly.
