So so sorry! I had that happen to me last year. This year I switched to quail watering bases in the brooder and that has worked out very well. There is not enough room for them to get soaked. So far so good.

I use the quail watering base. The only problem was that they were filling it with debris so quickly. I fixed that. I put it on a block of wood. Now that the big ones are out, I don't have to worry about them tipping it over.
One of my chickens drowned in a small concrete pond yesterday. It was full of water after the winter and chickens would drink from it. When the spring came the water started to get lower and it became harder for them to keep balance. I'm sure she slipped in and drown. I feel horrible since I thought it could happen and was wandering about ideas how to prevent exactly this. I could have just refilled the pond. She was a rescue from a battery cage farm. RIP chicken and please forgive me.
