OK
My two one month old chickens got ahold of my memory foam mattress and ate from it, I'm worried that it will kill them by clogging up their intestine track. They are acting their usual self but I'm scared in the morning I'll wake up and they'll be dead
Picture of how much they ate below, you can see the indents

Chickens love foam! Foam insulation, foam/styrofoam coolers, pool noodles, etc., etc. Not sure why, if you have it they will eat it.

They will probably be fine, just a make sure they are eating/drinking well. Provide them with a little chick grit free choice too.

Okay thank you! They have some dirt they use as grit and they are eating and drinking just fine. I was so worried lol
