Dear Gerrie

Charcoal is often given to people and animals that have a running stomach, as they say. Traditional medicine. Still used.

Hello Kevin: This seems quite odd to me. I would not expect animals to want to ingest char however I shall add a few chunks into the chicken pen and watch for the results. I would not expect the char to act like oyster shell or grit in the crop but to be honest I do not know so I shall observe and I have one rooster isolated for the next family dinner so I can feed some into his pen and if he ingests it I will examine the crop when he is killed to see how it "looks" compared to the stones and grain normally seen.
