Help my chicken has eaten clumping cat litter

[Greekbird007]

Hi there, I have six backyard chickens which 3 are ex battery hens, the other day whilst cooking I heard a tapping sound & my cook was eating clumping cat litter from the box!
She is now looking like she is struggling to swallow & her tail feathers are droopy although she is still eating & drinking... She's not herself

Please can anyone help me.

I'd probably try a small amount of molasses as a laxative, and of course plenty of fluids.

Thank you.. She looks perkier than she did this morning & her tail feathers are up.
I'm in england I wonder if they sell molasses out here?!!

Ah, if she's better, she'll probably pull through just fine.

I promise you there is, you just don't call it molasses. You probably call it treacle.

That's it!! My Mum calls it Mollasses too (we are greek) just couldn't remember what the english was for it!!
Thank you so much for your reply.. To be honest I thought she was going to die this morning
But she's out there free ranging chooking around with her flock!!
