Step 6.. It's a pig. They are omnivores... what do you think it's going to do??

OR

Step 1 to 3 is the same. 

BUT 

Momma SEES dumb laying hen floating on the water

 (they have their own water!) and calls to Papa and

Papa is a HERO 

and rescues said dumb laying hen from a certain fate!! 

I do need to add that we have once or twice found feathers floating here and there in the laying hen/pig pen. I will also admit that I would rather they drowned themselves in the pig water then the COW water.. at least the pigs know what to do with a dead chicken.. The cow.. not so much :) She just refuses to drink and Papa has to go clean out the water tank. Better him then ME!! :)
