she's being treated for bumblefoot and there might have been some tape on the ground that I hadn't cleaned up yet and she ate, it's also possible that it was some wet bedding from her water that she had recently knocked over, I'm not sure.
She hasn't been let out to roam for three days and hasn't been given any grit in her feed either.
If she ate tape will she be okay?
 
Don't worry too much, chickens are resilient. But check her crop over the next few days to make sure it's not impacted and monitor her poop. I would give her some veggie oil right away to help the tape move through her, and some molasses to tomorrow or the day after.
 
Okay, thank you! I got her to eat half a spoonfull to a spoonfull of olive oil with feed and drink almost a spoonfull by itself
