carrie Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 The cover must have blown off our pool and we have just rescued Nutmeg from it, flapping like mad to try to get out We brought her inside and I have been drying her with the hairdryer, she has now gone back out and is making such a racket. I think she is telling the others not to go near the big blue thing. I hate to think what would have happened if we hadn't looked out of the window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook n Boo Mum Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 ***Gulp *** We have a big blue thing in the garden....so far the chooks have just walked around the outside snaffling any bugs which are hiding around the slabs & legs. I'm glad that you noticed her before any real harm came to her. Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budgies Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Thanks for sharing your story, so glad you got to your hen in time. We've had a forum member lose a chicken that drowned in her pond - please remember if you have ponds/pools to cover or fence them off. CHickens cannot swim and their feathers become water logged and heavy, dragging them down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Wow , what a lucky chicken. Thank goodness you saw her, I bet she's telling quite a story to the other girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkshire Pudding Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 That was a lucky escape. She's probably telling them all to avoid it next time they're free-ranging Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
