Chicken ate my earrings. Need advice.

If they are in the gizzard they will be grinding up against rocks... WAIT THEY? how did he get the second one? You turn you head for him after he got the first?

Earrings aren't any good as singles.

You know if you keep this chicken locked p for two weeks you may have some problems integrating it back into the flock.
Just saying...
Boy o boy I hope he poops them out by tomorrow!

At least he ate the real deal, no cubic zirconia for that guy. Btw a half carat teardrop shaped leverback took three days. I told no one just scrutinized every poop until one sparkled...best of luck to you and him.

Come on three days.....Go by fast!!!

Are you going to be able to watch him ALL the time..
What if he poops them out and eats them right back up?

Thank you so much this is exactly what I needed to hear. I'll make sure Penelope (Penelop-He?) gets visitation with the others so there aren't any bad feelings.

No sparkly poop yet.
Penelope is doing fine.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but it is possible the post could pierce/perforate the gizzard and that could be fatal (ex-vet here). Do you have any friends or family in the medical field you know who could snap an xray to see where it is, and see if it moves down the GI tract?

One of my banties went after my wedding ring the other day, lol. I was like, um NO, you can have some scratch though! Hope your chook is OK~

Agreed. Also keep an eye for blood in poop I think...I mean it is funny on one hand but there is a consideration of danger....on the other.

I did a lot of stapling on my coop to put on electric fence and I SURE ran around and pulled out/picked up loose staples...and same on other staple projects....again SHINY!
