Wasn’t sure where to post a mystery like this.
This is the waterer for my goslings. There is a minnow in it.
I rinsed the whole waterer inside and out and refilled it this morning from a hose with a sprayer (the water is from a well, but it’s filtered through a particulate filter).
It’s inside a kennel that I’m using as a big brooder with chicken wire on all sides and a roof.
I have no idea how a minnow got in the waterer.
My ONLY idea is that some bird caught it and stopped by for a drink and dropped it in. But the chicken wire holes are so small I don’t think there are any birds that eat fish that would have been able to get to it.
Please help solve this closed door mystery!

Maybe it’s the angle, but that looks like a tad pole rather than a minnow. Makes a bit more sense than a minnow getting there, but raises the question of where are the other tad poles.
So fish can actually survive the digestive tract of mallards and other birds. Eggs too. Might of been pooped out 🤣
Looks like that pond you’ve been putting off building just became a lot more important 😀
Birds drop them any tiny onw get caught in feathers or fur on animals.
