OMG my 3 year old fed my chickens rubber worms

[Elite Silkies]

Since they had no hooks, I honestly think they will be fine.

They should expel them without any blockages or complications.

I'm pretty sure they will be OK. There have been lots of posts about chickens eating lots of odd things nails, screws, rings, earrings, foil, string, rope, you name it.

Wow I'm sure he thought he was giving them a treat! My 2year old put some small rocks in their cage as chicks..thank God they were to big for them to even think about eating. Had to watch her closely. Good luck

They will be fine. Chicks/chickens will eat nuts, bolts, nails, and dine on styrofoam... it'll pass.

In light of all the positive responses.. I have to say it made me giggle! Kids are so cute!

I am sure they will be fine. Just keep an eye out. You only need to worry if the hens start laying rubber handballs.

I say it will probably pass. My chicken ate a whole mouse the other day. Swallowed it whole. I wouldnt have believed they could do that if I hadnt seen it for myself.

They'll be fine. If you feel the worms their quite slippery and flexible.
