My Guinea ate a rubber band!!!!

[marymac]

Today while out watching my chickens I seen one of my Guineas pick up a rubber band and eat it before I was able to get it from him. What do you suppose will happen? Can it digest or will it stay in the crop or what? I just don't know what to expect. Silly Guineas!!!!

Uhh,... Maybe it could just pass through, um, who knows? I could get stuck somwhere. That wouldn't be very good, would it?

Im sure they eat other odd things !! Dont think it was a great thing to eat but I think he will be ok !!

I wouldn't worry too much about it. My barred rock pullet ate TWO cigarrette butts and she's still breathing, eating, and pooping. Just keep an eye on it to make sure things don't go wrong.

I don't even know which one it was now, but all of them seem to be doing ok so far. It probably thought it was a worm or something squiggly. them Guineas are a crazy bunch of chickens anyway lol.

I would not wait and watch for it to pass. it would be unrecognizable
anyhow.. As long as she got it down without snagging her tongue, I wouldn't worry about it .

If it is a laying guinea hen, I would watch for her eggs, however.. because if it gets snagged on one of them she might lay the same egg over and over and over and over...
