Hey everyone, so my little week old Cayuga ate a paper wasp. I let them into their pool to cool down a little bit since it’s nearly 100°, they were having fun and bathing
A paper wasp came along wanting water, and my Cayuga, Harley, bless her heart, leapt at it and caught it!
She would chew it, spit it out, then chew it again. After a few times she swallowed it.
I think she might’ve been stung? She was standing there chirping, I hope she’s ok.
Any advice or things to look for in case she was?

If she was stung the area would be extremely swollen and she probably wouldn't be alive. Has she had access to any grit? If she hasn't, I would get her some to help her break down the wasp. Otherwise, she should be fine.
So far I haven’t seen any swelling, she did eat some chick feed and dug around in some mud tho
