Swallowed my pearl earring

That will be some fancy eggs!!!

Thanks for the reply. Here’s the other earring next to a dime.

How big was/is the earring??

Oops. Replied to the wrong post.

I would say she'll be fine, my chicken found a piece of plastic about that size; which she ate and pooped out soon after.

I think she will be fine too. Every chick I have had will immediately peck at earings if they get the chance. Worse yet they will also peck at eyes if it looks shiny so I am always closing one eye if they are on my shoulder.

She’s still acting completely normal. Will keep watching her. Thanks for your input!

Several forum members have lost diamond studs to their chickens! It shouldn’t hurt her. I hope you get it back!

If a dog or cat had done this, I would advise that you follow them around with a plastic bag. But a chicken's gizzard is a powerful thing! I don't think you'll ever see that earring again! Sorry!

Really glad it wasn’t a diamond. Probably a little harder to digest (pun intended)

I think my wife will be fine with that as long as we don’t lose the chicken.
