Chickens get over this type of thing fairly fast, She will soon go back to laying.

yep. just keep her with the flock and she will get over it. If it makes you feel better give them some treats.

i normally pick up eggs daily but she had a secret stash in the brush that hatched out. she looked so confused and spent the night waiting and wondering around. it was a hot day here and i had waterers all over the yard. i dont know why or HOW they made their way into this big water trough but i am now aware of a new danger right here in my yard. thank you for the replies

she seems a bit less concerned this morning. thank you

 

[alpha goose]

thank you. she is better this morning. i feel terrible. never thought this big water trough would be a danger. i know better now.

she is mixing more with the flock this morning. i thought i was pretty good at minimizing dangers for my animals and this caught me off guard. thanks for the reply
