Plastic is not food for chickens Chickens and chicks are constantly pecking at the ground in search of food and can easily mistake small pieces of plastic for food. Residues of bags, packaging and other waste may enter the bird's digestive system and cause it serious damage. Particularly dangerous is small plastic, which remains in the soil and breaks down into even smaller particles over time. Such garbage does not disappear by itself, but continues to pollute the earth and can reach food chains. Do not throw waste in yards, fields or near animals. Used plastic must be sent to a garbage container, and in the place where sorting is organized, it must be recycled. A cleaner area is safer for birds and people. Site | | OK | MAX.
