Chicken ate a hair tie (ponytail)

[Alexr24]

My 5 month old Rhode Island Red hen just ate an entire hair tie. Basically inhaled it before I could grab it. It doesn’t have metal on it, it’s just elastic with thread around it. But I’m panicking that it’s going to hurt her crop/cause her to die.
She immediately ran and drank water, and is now laying by the water dispenser. But she is still getting up to eat and drink. Is there anything I can do?

Open her beak and see if you can see anything in her throat

Thats pretty big, for a chicken. Chickens have a small hole in the back of there mouth check to see if you can see it, if not she might be chocking, let me get a picture.
