Chicken drank pool water

[MegsEggsx]

Our pool was being drained today and the water flowed down by the chicken coop and there are puddles everywhere even in the coop. I am really worried that they will drink it and get sick. Should I be worried?

Standard pool water, without naughty (read that as extraordinarily naughty) organisms in it, should not cause them any harm. How many kids manage to swallow a mouthful or two of pool water each time they visit?

My momma always said, "Don't borrow trouble." It is an idiom that means don’t worry about something before it is time to worry about it. The idea is that worrying does not solve anything, and we often worry about things that never happen.

Thanks, that helps a lot.

I agree. This is probably no big deal. Just keep an eye on them. It sounds like you are an attentive chicken keeper, which is fantastic!
