Water is pouring out of my chicks beaks!! HELP

[Zayan]

So I left my chicks alone for 3 days with and automatic water feeder connected to a bucket which was quarter filled with water. I come back today and I see that all the water is finished. I put more water in the bucket and they start drinking. The are drinking continuously and when I picked one up and tilted it a little, water started pouring from his beak. All the other ones too. What should I do? Take a away their water? PLEASE HELP

I'd temporarily take the water away for a bit until they start absorbing the water they have ingested. Hopefully they have not dehydrated to the point where they can not recover. Good luck.

Hopefully they will be ok. If you have to leave them like that again, you should add more water. How many chick's do you have?

This usually happens from dehydration. The chicks will drink so much because they're so thirsty and will overfill their crop, hence why it's pouring out of their beaks. 3 days is a really long time to leave chicks without checking the water. They can topple it, or even drink it all in that span of time. If you can, I'd get someone to check on them next time you have to leave them.

Yes. They are completely fine now. Very active and seem okay. I even took them out for a while. I am so relieved!
