[chickencutie]

Wow, how big of a ball??

I think you are going to have to just wait and see if it passes.

He'll most likely just pass it and be fine.

 

[i<3chickens]

it depends on the size of the ball , the thickness of the rubber and if he ate little bits at a time or huge chunks. but most likley it will just pass

 

[mmaddie's mom]

olive oil to help it pass.

Given chickens eat rocks a rubber ball is not likely a concern. Pretty much as long as the object is a regular shape, not sharp or magnetic things are ok. If it is small enough to go in it is small enough to come out the other end.

Your rooster is going to get to know what it feels like to lay an egg!

Mmaddie's mom's suggestion sounds like a good one. Some olive oil to help it along.

Check him in the AM before he starts eating and see if you can feel it in the crop. Thats the place I would worry about it getting stuck. Also the easiest place to deal with it if it did get stuck.
