My chicken ate a very very very narrow piece of plastic.

I was gardening and my chickens were with me and I saw one eat a very very thin piece of plastic maybe 2-3 inches long. It was like the width of a piece of grass root, which is I guess what she mistook it for. I couldn't stop her. Will she die from this?

Not to guarantee that there might not be some problem, but my gut is that it will pass through her. I would be far more nervous about a nail or piece of broken glass. Good luck.

my gut is that it will pass through her. No pun intended, right? Thanks. I hope it will be alright. Why do they eat things that aren't good for them???

Yesterday,my 3 week old aseel chick ate 3-4 inch long feather.
I'm worried for him.
Was plastic that your chicken ate,elastic?

No, it wasn't elastic. It was hard plastic. She's fine as of this morning. Is there something I can do to make it pass?
