Solving Omlet Smart Auto Door Timing Issues with Alexa Routines

Having stripped the blackberry bushes of fruit I wondered if the chckens can have elderberries?

[Patricia W]

I've wondered that. As the local birds strip them, my guess is yes?? Don't know what others think?

I've seen elderberry on a poison list but don't know if its leaves or the berries so I cut next doors right back.

[Patricia W]

The pigeons that eat ours don't seem to know it's poisonous - by the evidence of the large purple droppings on my car this time of year!

 

There is a thread somewhere with things chooks can and can't eat. I find mine avoid the no no's themselves.

Just found this on the inter'web. Elderberry is included, but there is a thread elsewhere which suggests it could be a treatment for cocci. I think I'd err on the side of caution.

If you believe your chicken has eaten a poisonous plant you should isolate it from any other birds, put it in a warm, dark locationm such as in a travel box, and contact your vet for advice as soon as possible. Make note of what the bird has eaten, and if you are not sure, take some leaves from the plant to help the vet identify it at the surgery.

[The Dogmother]

Mine love them, but be prepared for purple poos

[Patricia W]

Presumably then, the advice is about the leaves - which do smell awful!
