My chickens are about 5 weeks old and I was letting them out to get a little play time downstairs in my basement. An area I have set off aside for them. One of them was in the corner eating something and I noticed and didn't get to them in time to get it out of their mouths. I think it might have been a pipe cleaner that was shaped in like a circle. Not really sure. What should I do? Please be nice.Trying to get help

If it was sharp there is a chance it perforates the GI tract, if it is too large it won't break down and get stuck somewhere causing complications. If its not too large and if doesn't poke anywhere it may just pass it with no issues. I think you'll have to wait this one out and keep an eye on it, maybe keep it separated so you can monitor easier, and make sure its eating, drinking still.
You're doing great, we all have our hiccups.

Theres nothing much you can do, other than wait it out. Perhaps, monitor their poops, and make sure they’re eating and drinking well.

A little update. I gave her a little bit of oil and she's still been eating and drinking. Been keeping an eye on her. Haven't seen anything yet. Not sure I will. My little sweetheart Gertrude
