Hey now with poops little that you might actually have a hen there! Little comfort I know but I've never had a roo poop that big.Your husband surely wouldn't hurt a lady. Roos take little bitty poops that looks like a hen poop.

She looks more dark than light...she looks like a female to me as well. This has been an incredibly entertaining thread...lol. I like the fruit salad pics!

In all seriousness, I hope she's able to pass both earrings without any harm. I'm hoping your earrings are easy to find too.

I don't know the biology stuff that well, but I surely wonder how the crop/gizzard plays into all this. Can the earring make it thought that, etc....
If you google "chicken ate earring" there are several similar stories, some right here on BYC. I hate to sound negative, but here's a sample:

By the way, should things turn out well, you could immediately call your local TV news station; they might really "eat this up".

Chickens are super adept at honing in on movement, especially shiny things. Don't feel bad, I got pecked in the eye by one of my originals, took a small plug out, in fact. I have learned to be very careful cuddling the little feathered dragons close to my face. My husband had similar feelings, LinnyChx. Hope you get yer stones back.

Penelope is 9 weeks, 2 days old.

I didn't know that! I hope she's a she. I'm not sure how much that affects my husband but he is being much nicer to Penelope today. I think he's sorry he threatened her with getting fried!

Me too!

What great food reward for earring eating!

I'm pretty sure little Penelope is a girl. a very pretty one at that.

Well, we just had some evening chicken time and I thought I saw sparkles but it was just her chick grit

She sure does love her unlimited supply of tasty treats. My husband says we're fattening her up nicely :O

It's only been 24 hours so I'm still hopeful!

OMG - I've never thought about the chicks going for my earrings. They have pecked at my engagement ring and polished toenails, but never gone for the earrings.
