So, I found one of my chickens wedged upside down beneath the pool's edge - talk about fowl play. I'm not sure how long she was there or how she managed to squeeze in. But her toe wiggling got my attention, and I quickly pulled her out. After being stuck, she was weak but as soon as I put her down, she perked up. Clearly, the pool needs to be downsized to chicken-proof it. What's impressive is that she laid an egg while stuck upside down, which tells me she was there for a good 24 to 48 hours. Well, that was today's adventure.
Also here’s a picture of Joleen (the chicken that got stuck).
