My chicken ate a BIG piece of food

[Naisha]

Okay, today it was treat day! I gave my girls some tuna fish, sunflower seeds, corn, and I also had a long piece of crust from sliced bread (soft, not hard like baguette type of bread). The thing is, I thought they would peck to take small pieces, but one of them took that crust and ate it as if it was a spaghetti so others wouldn’t take it from her! She couldn’t even close her beak! But then she swallowed it, I don’t even know how! …will she survive? (Facepalm)

If she managed to swallow it, she will be fine. Sometimes such large pieces can cause birds to choke to death.

Omg! When I saw she was trying to eat that I was going to take it out, but then she managed to swallow it. No big pieces of food ever again, that’s for sure!

Chickens usually know what they can handle.

You should see the photos of chickens eating snakes!

She'll be fine.
