hardulph Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hi Are mistletoe berries poisonous to poultry? We have an apple tree in our poultry pen that has a big crack in the bark and we'd like to try and get some mistletoe growing in it but obviously not if it's going to be a problem to the chooks.

Old Speckled Hen Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 Mistletoe is poisonous. Don't try to inoculate your mistle berries in a crack in the trunk, it won't take. You need to choose a young hardwood branch and put a small snick into it that reaches the green wood. Hopefully that will be high enough so that the hens can't reach.

KAZAROO Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 It is also illegal to collect mistletoe from the wild.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
