Has anyone tried this? I’m thinking it might be a hot weather thing... Maybe even get my flockers used to getting their feet wet!

I can't imagine they actually catch any of the fish..... But people do use kiddie pools for chickens to stay cool and to have tons of water to drink. Key is to keep the depth at a level where they are comfortable standing in it without needing to swim. And to keep the drowning to a minimum. There are videos of chickens floating and swimming in deep swimming pools, but I don't think it is that common of an activity normally.... Mostly I hear about chickens drowning in horse water troughs.

I've never done it, but people used to come into Petco when I worked there to by the Rosy Red minnows for their pools. Multiple people claimed their chickens and ducks went nuts for them.
