Rhubarb leaves

huntsman · Nov 22, 2014

Does anyone have firsthand knowledge of Rhubarb leaves being problematic for chickens?

I've learned that the oxalic acid in the leaves is toxic to humans, but I've given my flock rhubarb leaves in the past and they love them!

Thanks!

There are a lot of old threads here where you can do a search about rhubarb. They are toxic, but it supposedly takes a lot to actually poison a chicken. Here is a link for a whole page worth of threads to read: https://www.backyardchickens.com/newsearch?search=rhubarb
