Wild green (unripe) Concorde grapes and my chicks eating them

I thought I read the seeds were posion. Every time we let the girls out they stampede right over me to get to the grapes and eat them. I have wild grapes all over the place and it's impossible to keep them out of the vines.

Should I worry?

Have you ever wondered how a hen can lay an egg every day?

No worries -- mine have been eating Concord grapes for years - they go hog wild over these grapes, and have never become ill from them.  "Stampede" is an understatement.  Concord grapes are one of their all time favorites!

Won't be making any wine out of them this year..the plague of chicks has made sure of that. Thanks for answering I will let the chicks eat them...though there is no doubt in my mind they would gain up on me and lock me in the coop if I tried to stop them.
