Gizzard contents from deceased bird - quarter is for scale, was not in gizzard.

That's one heck of a camera. What kind of paper towel is that? Is that Bounty? You can see every little crevice!

Well, it probably has served its purpose, in that nobody with a rational mind will leave the thread thinking that a bit of styrofoam will actually hurt their chicken. Now, maybe the thread could be moved to the chicken nutrition forum, where people debate whether they should be eating Dumor, Nutrena, 100% Organic, or Nutrena/free range combo with occasional styrofoam. Styrofoam in minimal amounts does no more harm to chickens that hamburgers do to humans who could be eating kale infused with vitamins. It's just not a big deal at all, and it's disgraceful to try and convince the freaking out new chicken owners who go googling and find this site that it is that big of a problem. IF YOUR BIRDS ATE STYROFOAM THEY WILL BE FINE. SEARCH EVERY THREAD ON THIS SITE AND SOME PEOPLE GET SANCTIMONIOUS ABOUT IT, BUT THERE IS NOT ONE STORY ABOUT BIRDS ACTUALLY GETTING HARMED BY STYROFOAM CONSUMPTION.
