My chickens have eaten so much crazy stuff before, but they are all fine! Don't worry, it will come out alright in the end! LOL
pretty sure she will be OK!

When I first got chickens eleven years ago, one ate the band-aid off the back of my leg. I panicked. My worry was needless. The next day, I found the plastic part, minus the gauze pad, in a clump of poop.

Your blue tape should be easy to spot later when it reappears in a pile of poop.

Yup. Should be fine.

Just keep an eye out for tapeworm.

chickens are like little 2 year olds, they will get into everything and pick and eat the craziest things, if they can swallow it, its up for grabs,

like everyone said she should be fine, i think the problem would of arose right at first, like if it got stuck going down or something so if she's acting and pooping fine, it should be all right

The rooster I had in college ate whatever he could get his beak on, including 2 of my roommates nose rings that we're still in her nose!

I have a hen who stole a Subway sandwich from me, and ran away with it. IT WAS MY LUNCH!
