Stuck in water??

[Bitofablonde]

Hey all! Question our sweet Pippy and Quackers are about 9-10 weeks, and since they started molting, it seems as though Pippy is having a harder time getting out of their pool. It's a buried stock tank, we have rocks on the inside for them to step on and it's also slightly lower on one end to help make the getting out process easier.

But what I notice is that after a while she just floats around and bobs her head over the edge of the tank, almost as if she is looking for a way out but can't do it. This hadn't been a problem before she started molting, she would just hop out, no rocks for stepping on required.

Anyone else experience this?? And were they actually stuck, looking for a way out???

Can you please post a photo of the tank so we can see the steps and the height she must climb?

My 3 week olds only need to climb about an inch and sometimes they will have some trouble.

Sorry I was trying to attach a video but it's not corporating.

I should note, when I walked into their run and toward the pool I kind of just moved my arms toward her and she flapped her wings and hopped out

In the second picture you can see the bottom of the tank. It's not a very deep one, the rocks are several inches tall, but of course they weren't in there when I took the video with the clearer water. This first pic is the morning.
