Water beads and chickens

[kathy in cuero]

My grandson has a water gel bead, plastic gun and wants to shoot it. The small, marble size water beads are gel(polymer) filled, and I am afraid that the bead, pre-water absorption would be bad for my chickens, ducks, peacocks and all fowl.....anyone hear of the beads and chickens having problems? Should I worry...think I might ban them, tho.

I have 7 kids...and it was just a matter of time before one of the boys got the very nerf gun that your talking about. Its been almost a year with that gun, and so far...I havent had any issues with the chickens and that gun(or its remnants).
