I think my chicken ate a plastic gecko

[eggcetra_farms]

Any chance that if my chicken ate a platic gecko it could pass it, or do you think it would kill her? I always tell my kids not to take their toys outside... This is about the same size as a real gecko, and is a rubbery-stretchy-plastic material. I tried to get it from her, but she runs so fast and then she didn't have it. I didn't see it on the ground anywhere, so I'm assuming she ate it. God, I hope she's going to be ok. Please let me know if you've had experience with this type of thing. Thanks.

I honestly dont know what to tell you as you did not give the size or such... if you are really worried then go to the vet because yes I can imagine some instances where if was not able to be passed or ground up by the gizzard so it could be passed that it could possibly cause problems....

Obelisk has one of those stretchy lizards as her favourite toy...She never tries to eat it, just beats the stuffing out of it on the ground.

I would think that you could feel her crop and tell if it was in there. Chickens are pretty smart, I would think she would realize it was not food and drop it.
