Help! Poult ate long piece of plastic!

[jjensen06]

Help!! Went on a mad run to stop 6 week old poult from eating a long piece of plastic wrap, unfortunately I wasn't fast enough and he got it down now he is mixed in with the others (I have 11) and I'm worried about him not being able to pass it... Help! What can I do?!!

If you can recognize the `compactor' from the others, separate out and observe droppings for a week (if it was a very flexible - like saran wrap - it might just ball up and pass through). Pretty much all you can do at this point is observe for any changes in dietary intake/development of sour/impacted crop (bad breath/distention of crop). There are several threads on how to surgically deal with this in chooks.

Good luck!
