Chicken boarders

[shelley8179]

Does anyone know if these plants are bad for chickens? I have a cat problem and would like to keep these near the run to keep the cats away they also say that foxes don't like the either so thats a bonus

It says it only smells when touched, so every time you brush against it Let us know

Plum, I have had them before we had chickens and they dont smell but I am worried they might harm the chickens if they eat them

There are some lists in the frequently asked section which may help.

Thanks for that Plum, the plants are not on any of the poisonous plants lists so hopefully they should be ok.
