Looney Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Not sure which are poisonous but can assure you that most plants won't last two seconds in the run as they will have eaten them before you can say "cor blimey, that chicken is eating my....."!!!! Mine seem to leave certain garden plants alone (mostly the spiky ones) but anything tender looking they chomp away at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my experience too. Anything in "chicken stretch", they seem to start pecking and forget to stop. Gently ease them away and they walk around you, its hopeless. 3 fushias in one weekend! Bedding plants are undermined in their digging, too. So far the new rose has been avoided and the dogwood is frantically trying to grow out of reach.

chelsea Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 KathyC, in your experience do you think my chooks will go for my newly planted revolutionary Bizzie Lizzies ? havent put them within chicken reach yet because they are small plugs.
