No, and they should not. The hard plastic is indigestible and could get stuck in the digestive system of the bird, ultimately killing it. It is unlikely the chicken would even bother eating a hard piece of plastic anyway, but if the bird dies and the farmer who owns the bird happens to clean the bird in preparation to eat it he may very well find out what killed the bird and know where the air soft pellets came from....big trouble in the barnyard at that point. You should be more careful where you use them.

Will chickens eat airsoft bb's?
No and they probably won't actually eat them, they may check them out to determine if they are a source of food but after the first few tries they will ignore them. Air soft pellets are indigestible at best so if you can avoid them being around the chickens it is probably best to keep them away.

What do use to chickens eat?
Chickens are great scavengers and will happily feast on food scraps. Although scraps cannot be a chickens main food as it doesn't contain all the essentials for a chickens diet. Your best bet is to have a supply of layers pellets in the run for the chickens to peck at when they're hungry and when you have scraps add them to the run. I also used to give them a ratio of 1:1 corn and pellets but apparently this is wrong as chickens prefer corn therefore will not eat the pellets and won't receive the vital vitamins they contain. Instead, I was told to use it as a treat for birds to peck at in the afternoon. Grass is a major part of a chickens diet. I read that 30% of a chicken's calories comes from grass. They must eat a lot of grass because it doesn't contain that many calories! A 'true' free-range chicken has the essential animal protein from beetles and other ground dwelling insects. They also get an array of wild plants to try. My chickens are free-range and even take themselves to bed! I hope this helps you!
