"Weird" is too nonspecific to be able to properly advise you, but most of the time the chicken bone will cause no problems and certainly does not require an ER visit unless symptoms are severe. Most commonly it will cause minor trauma in the throat and esophagus as it is going down and the irritation may take a while to resolve.

If the bone is longer than 3 inches and is sharp, than go to ER. If not than it should pass. Feeling weird is normal, but any abnormal effects to throat or stomach, seek immediate help.
