Plastic airsoft pellets will it kill them?Is there anything we can do.

[feather and mountain man]

When we butchered the roosters yesterday we found plastic pellets from the airsoft guns the boys played with last year. The pellets were in their gizzards. So I figure the laying hens have eaten them too. Will they pass them. Will it hurt/kill them? What can we do about it now. We still find the pellets in the yard and the boys have not used them in at least a year.

Im wondering the same thing??? I keep finding then in my backyard, we do not own anything of that sort so I am beginning to believe my anti-chicken neighbor is shooting at my girls. I know for sure it is not 2 of my neighbors BUT there is one who we dont get along with at all.

Our chickens eat these all the time, I find them in their poop. Does not seem to bother them at all. I paid extra for the biodegradable airsoft pellets and the kid stopped shooting the guns several years ago, way before we had chickens. Ummm...I'm guessing I got ripped off on the biodegradable thing, since they are supposed to be gone by now. We also made an effort to pick up and dispose of all the ones we could find but I still keep finding more.
