Be gentle!! It can break easy! I can talk to though putting it back in but I don’t know what to do about the poop thing. Use 1-2 fingers gently working it back in…

Did you read the whole thread? OP made the decision to end the hen’s suffering the evening they posted the thread.

Plus that was not going back in, it was intestines

So it's not dangerous but like other treats only for use in moderation

Me either. But then again I am not the most sensitive person.

Right. Just like with humans, it can be binding if there’s not enough water to offset the fiber. It may not be as much of an issue in summer when they’re drinking more and eating less, but in the winter when they chow down to keep their body temps up, and are naturally inclined to drink less, it could become an issue depending how much is given.

Personally, I don’t give much in the way of treats since it can unbalance the feed formulation.
