Chickens and beebees?

[OHhappychicks]

Will chickens eat beebees? My grandson is out shooting his beebee gun at a 2 ltr soda bottle. I just wondered if they would think they were gravel or some such thing, and eat them. Will it hurt them if they do?

They probably would eat them. Once, one of my girls ate the nail polish off my toe

I wouldn't much worry, unless it was toxic. They would probably either keep it in their crop as granules to use when digesting food (though I don't know what use that would have to the hen... they are so smooth!), or they would just pass it.

That is kinda what I thought. I just didn't know if they were toxic. I'm not sure what they are made of. I hope it isn't lead! Thanks for responding!
