Help! Chicken fell in water bucket!

[kristin06]

Thank yall! It's really more like a small trough. And it was put there last minute because I was running late for work. Its maybe a foot and a half tall I really didnt think a chicken could get stuck. I have a proper waterer it just hangs so it takes longer to take down and fill.

It never occurred to me one of my chickens could fall into my water bucket either. This tiny frizzle bantam cochin hen somehow escaped my chicken enclosure and snuck into my goat pen, and I have no idea how she got into a foot tall bucket. chickens are more talented than we think!!

Update! I kept her wrapped in warm towels in the bathroom with the heat lamp on. She is now able to walk around. I snuggled her into another warm towel and she is now in the sink lol. I think she will be ok. I was so worried about her. Thank yall again!

Oh we are so glad to hear that she is improving. Hopefully, she will make a full recovery. It is so nice that you were able to rescue her in time.

My little bantam cochin somehow fell in a water bucket and I guess got stuck! I have no clue how long she was in there but there was an egg at the bottom. I grabbed her and wrapped her in a towel and tried blow drying her a little. Then I took her back out side, put her in the sun, and she wouldnt walk she ate a little, but won't move, just sits there and shivers. So I wrapped her up in the towel and she is in the bathroom with the heat lamp on. She has tucked her head like they do when they sleep. When I walk in she will look around but she is still a little shakey and slightly puffed up.
Is there anything else I can do?

My Silkie fell in the pool today. It's cold for Texas. I took the advice they gave you and pray he makes it . I'm glad I went out there when I did though.
