| Looks harmless enough, but for a certain chicken it was almost "The Bucket of Death" |
That hen had been under that black bucket, in the 90+ degree heat for at least four hours. I'm surprised that she was alive. And really, I should know better. I should have flipped that bucket over the moment I saw it. Or, better yet, just put it away with the other buckets. I had a similar thing happen a few years ago with a feed bowl in the brooding pen with the baby chicks. Bowl flipped over sometime during the day and when I went to feed them, flipped the bowl back over and out popped a very sweaty, very lethargic chick.
So, see any upside down buckets, bowls, trays? Flip them over or put them away. Learn from my mistake(s).
LOL. I got nothin.
ReplyDeleteCrazy Chickens... maybe it was the one that had that experience as a baby?!
ReplyDeleteKamikazi chicken ??
ReplyDeleteIt needed a bit of sauna time??? Either that or it just had a death wish. Glad it turned out well!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn,
ReplyDeleteChicken in a box, lol......like jack in the box!!!
Is there any way to secure the bucket to prevent it from being turned over by the animals?
The Black Bucket Of Death....Never a dull moment around your place, is there? @;)
ReplyDeleteGood thing you saw that bucket. Golly.
ReplyDeleteMy question is how the heck did it happen??! I mean usually if a chicken sees something (ANYthing!) the least bit unusual coming their way, they skitter away in a blink.
ReplyDeleteGreat Caesar's Ghost!! (I've always wanted to use that line...) You've really got to be on your toes! I find that chicks in general are always up to mischief - must be that curiosity thing that affects all young beings (and some of us older-but-not-wiser ones).
ReplyDeleteDang chickens! At least the egg was cooked enough to eat I assume.
ReplyDeleteEw, glad it survived!
