chicken eaten expanding foam!!

[new2gyo]

Hi
We have been working on our allotment today to build a safe run for our chickens. They were seperated from where we were working but one escaped without us noticing and as a piece of expanding foam fell from the roof she drived on it (as they do) and started to eat it. We have kept her separate from the other hens so that we can monitor her, as it says on the can toxic. If she does survive do we need to disgard her eggs or are they safe to eat?

Many thanks

I would think the eggs would be safe to eat if she survives. Actually I think she will probably survive if the foam hasn't already expanded inside her.

Had the foam dried, and gone hard, or was it still wet? Either way, I don't suppose she ate a lot. I'd just keep an eye on her. Hope she's ok.

How stupid are our chickens?

Usually it's a job and a half to get my girls to go back in their run when they are out demolishing the lawn. Well, i think I finally figured it out today....

They were that stupid that they thought I was gonna share the can of energy drink I had in my hand when I entered the lawn. I caught on quite quickly (for a blond) to what they were after and made out I was placing the can in their run... and in they went 1 by 1. Silly sods

Oh, I wouldn't worry, one of mine tucked into polystyrene once and survived!

Mine have eaten polystyrene too - I used an old fish box to make a dust bath for them!

Yep - I put some foam insulation boards over the run in a cold snap once and they tucked in happily - all survived!

Thanks all for your advice. Thankfully our girly survived

Haha Sheena, they are silly but like you say they can be persuaded in if you find something they want. I could not believe how mad they all go if one finds a slug lol
