medical tape

I think she should be fine, & would most likely need some extra grit to break it down, maybe?

It most likely is fine then. Medical bandages do not have unsafe chemicals in them because they are wrapped around human wounds, usually puncture wounds. Can you post a picture of the box or the medical bandage?

It think she will be fine. My duck has eaten insulation, plastics, styrofoam, you name it and he is still alive. Although I would encourage your chicken to have some grit to break it down.

Yep. They are asleep now but in the morning I will make sure she has some grit.

Thanks for the help everyone. She is acting fine and does not seem impacted.
