Inhaled some water when drinking

[Glendaroost]

Hi everyone, I have some lovely 11 week old orpington chicks at the moment. I went in to pour water into one of their drinkers (normally I would take the drinker out and fill it but am recovering from an injured back so using a watering can). Three of the chicks dunked their beaks right into the flow of water and I am sure it went up their nose. Two were open mouth breathing right afterwards but returned to normal before I left them to calm down, How much danger are they in? I feel awful. Do I need to do anything or just monitor?

They will probably be fine. I'd just keep an eye on them.

Agreed. They're likely fine. Had you dunked them underwater and held them there a second or two, it would probably be a different story.
