just now, he just ate one pick and he's 4 months old 5 months in 20How much did the chicken eat and how long ago?
And how big is the chicken?
im really worried right now i just lost my 7 weeks old chick I don't want to lose him tooIf it is really a tiny bit I think it will be OK. There are really only scientific studies on lethal dose in cats and dogs but several parrot forums say it takes 100g to kill a parrot. That is a lot of chocolate!
Unfortunately there is also a documented case of a much lower fatal dose (20g).
Milk chocolate is less toxic than plain chocolate.
The only practical home treatment I can see is activated charcoal - which is a good thing to have on hand for all kinds of poisoning. You can get it as pills in the pharmacy. Just pop 1-2 into the chicken’s beak.
If your chicken has survived 24 hours after eating it you are in the clear.
And if you can get a guess of how much chocolate and how big the chicken you may not need to worry anyway.
I think he will be fine. I always heard how chocolate would kill a dog if it ate it and mine got ahold of a whole container of chocolate and was just fine. It was a small dog too. I think it takes quite a bit to hurt any animal and just a peck should not do anything harmful to it.im really worried right now i just lost my 7 weeks old chick I don't want to lose him too
i hope so, thank you so much it helps me relax for a bitI think he will be fine.
