Headchicken Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I have a semi-large back yard and some unidentified plants. Should I worry about anything being poisonous for chooks? Are there any poisonous plants for them? I know not to use cedar shavings, but beyond that, I have no knowledge. Any help appreciated!

The Dogmother Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Chickens will pretty much leave harmful things alone. Well, mine do anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westleigh Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Have to agree with claret ,my chooks roam the garden most days and i have never had a problem guess they sort of know what they should or shouldnt eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headchicken Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Thanks all for your replies! Wow, that list is long--- and one of the plants was clover! I thought chickens loved clover!!! I'm glad to hear that they have an intuition on what not to eat, since I can't identify some of the plants in my yard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Just avoid any long, stringy grass as that will bung their crop up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
