7 week old chick ate my earring

[Nicci0110]

It's a cheap fake pearl earring but will that little hag be ok? I'm so mad at her and myself and pray she will be ok. She reached up and snatched it out of my ear and swallowed it.....shes a barred rock. The earring is a medium sized pearl. She doesn't seem affected at all and it is not visible in her throat. I also cannot feel it in there. No weird breathing. Will she be ok? It is a studd earring

Is it a fake pearl with a pin?
The pearl is probably harmless, but if there is a pin attached it might be I problem I guess. Never had this experience though. So I’m not sure if it is.

Obvious this happens more often without causing problems. There are more threads on this subject if you search with stud earring.
