Chicken swallowed a peach pit

[grace106]

I accidentally threw a peach pit into the run with some peach skins and one of my hens swallowed it. I tried to stop her but she had already swallowed it. It took a couple tries for her to get it down. Is this something she will be able to digest? It was pretty big. Anything I should do? Thank You

Not really much you can do at this point. Keep an eye on her to make sure she doesn't have any problems. About the only thing I know that could be done would be surgery on the crop to remove it......They dissolve bones when they eat live small animals....I guess that's about the same???

Thank you for your response. I will keep an eye on her.

Keep us posted...that is a new one there.

So far so good, 24 hours. Hopefully will stay this way!

I do hope so!
