Can Chickens Eat Styrofoam?

I have been wondering about this for weeks. Three of my hens started eating the broken foam boards that are on my houses foundation, and I was baffled. I am glad to know it is just something odd that happens.
Great article that helped put me at ease whenever I'm worried about missing one tiny piece of styrofoam that my chickens might find. There is a section of this article that was a little off topic, though it did provide further insight of other dangers around the farm that chickens are attracted to.
Overall good article to help identify and prevent problems for inexperienced poultry owners

Great article, never would’ve thought about styrofoam and chickens, so it’s great to know whether or not they should eat them. However, the title should maybe be, Dos and Donts of a Chickens Diet, or something more general since you listed more general topics of what a chicken can and cannot eat. However, i love your specific title if you were more specifically looking at styrofoam, overall, great article!
