Chickens ate dry beans. Should I be concerned?

My little one just came in and informed me that she fed the chickens dried beans. I know that's a no no, but does it have to be a large quantity for it to effect them? We have 3 chickens and they probably only ate a couple beans each. I think they were beans from a green bean seed packet.

They'll be fine. It's larger quantities you'd be worried about.

Tell your little to plant the beans first, then she can feed the green beans she harvests to the chickens!

Ah, thank you so much for the reply. I felt terrible as I told her the beans are bad for the chickens and she started to cry thinking she had hurt them. Again, I appreciate the response, and will definitely use your "turn it into a positive" suggestion.
