My chickens had this little cat toy. It was plastic with a small bell inside (the size of a bell on a cat collar). They loved that toy so much... then they broke it. I just saw it a few minutes ago. I took out the toy bou I couldn’t find the little bell. I am scared one of my chickens ate it. What should i do?
 
I think the only thing you can do is to watch and wait. If one of them starts acting off, then you’ll know somethings up. Perhaps they just buried it somewhere but who knows- maybe the bell will just chill in their stomach and you’ll hear it jingle jangle every once and awhile.
 
If you don't know for sure, you have to wait and see. You'd have to know which chicken it is to do anything anyway. If it causes an issue (impaction), it may need to be surgically removed.
