ok not sure where I should actually post this underfeeding under emergencies under general questions etc so here I posted.
I've been making Christmas snowmen and what you do is you feel socks full of rice and then tie them off and decorate. anyways I had a big bag of rice it was a ziplock bag I was using while I was filling up the socks and I locked it said it on the ground next to my bed. My chickens come in my room cuz I have learned how to use the doggie door. They were packing up the bag and I just laughed and thought to myself how do you keep chickens busy for an hour you put rice in a bag and put it on the floor. I was not aware that they actually got the plastic apart and was eating the raw rice it was brown rice not white rice if that makes a difference. But somewhere I read that raw rice is fatal to chickens but they been doing this for a while and I've been working on this for about 4 or 5 days ago I did the rice part and put the bag on the floor and haven't really touched. All my chicken seem to be acting fine pooping find everything seems to be normal but I just don't know how deadly are toxic raw rice is for chickens. any help would be appreciated
