Chicken Popper :(

[Jessdesk]

Hi all, happy forth of July! So my daughters were throwing "poppers" you know the ones wrapped in paper with the little rock things in them. One of the cockerels got hold of an unpopped one and ate it. I tried to catch him before he swallowed it, but he was too quick.

Anyone else ever see this?

Is that how they make popcorn chicken? Oh sorry, that was in bad taste. I have never heard what you could do about that. Could you work it back up through the crop? What is in those anyw anyways?

I've never seen this, but there isn't much you can do about it now.
I'm sure he will be fine. Just make sure he continues to eat and drink.

Wow!! That's amazing. I've never seen anything quite like that before! I don't think it will hurt him. I drop those things on my feet all the time, it doesn't hurt

Welcome to BYC, by the way. Where do you live, and do you have any other livestock or pets? Keep us posted on how he does.

 

[Jessdesk]

Live in western part of Texas, and no other livestock. Just chickens, dogs and a cat

I'll let you know how he goes.

So I found this info., and will definitely keep you posted on how it turns out.

Bang snaps consist of a small amount of gravel or coarse sand impregnated with a minute quantity (~0.08 milligrams) of silver fulminate high explosive and twisted in a cigarette paper to produce a shape resembling a cherry. The friction-sensitive silver fulminate detonates when stepped on, ignited, or thrown on a hard surface, producing a sharp salute similar to that of a cap gun.

Fulminates are very toxic, about the same as cyanides
