Hi ok so i saw my hens eating styrofoam insulation which had blown out of my coop window. I felt some of my hens crops and most feel normal and not bumpy like styrofoam bits but one of my hens LOVES styrofoam and her crop was about 40-50%full of styrofoam feeling stuff ... Maybe more. Can this amout of styrofoam insulation clog a crop or gizzard or give them styrine poisoning? And yes this has happend before. Im really worried it will hurt my hens and the last time this happend i dont think anything happend. Do you think theyll be ok? :/

Anyone else ever have this problem??
I had a couple chickens eat a ton of stryofoam last summer. I was not sure what would happen, but the next day I saw it all in the coop, they pooped it out over night. They never seemed sick or anything.
