where did this list come from ? i saw the link but i mean how did they compile the list ? some of the plants don't even have the correct names they use slang words so how can it be trusted. i know for a fact there are things on this list that maybe cant be used raw but with a little work can be used to at least supplement feed. and some things like hemp seed were used in china for forever. you just cant give the animal all one thing. i have read hemp seed increases fatty acids in the eggs and increases egg weight as long as there diet isnt more than 20% hempseed...... and the plant itself isnt called marijuana in cannabis .. marijuana is a spanish slang word that the american government popularized in order to scare the masses into distrusting a plant that was already commonly used by everybody.
also my grandpa was a mixture of different kinds of american indian from far east kentucky. its all deciduous forest you know alot of oaks and he would crush acorns leave them in the running stream next to the house for a day or two.. till it ran clear instead of white than dry it. its how you make acorn flour.. and would supplement his chicken feed with that. something he learned from his mom
maybe its what the chickens always ate so they had adapted though. i dont know

The posted list was good. Your comment about "slang" is inappropriate considering the audience: common names were used instead of the botanical species names.

Someone kindly went through trouble to post this list. If you have a better, more concise list, please post it. Acorns: yes, acorns CAN be a valuable, high-protein food--IF they are hulled and then soaked in running water for days or weeks, depending on the tannic acid content of the acorn, as different species of oaks produce different levels of it. That doesn't mean you shouldn't have acorns on this list. This is a list of what to be careful of, and those plants are of variable toxicity depending on stage of growth, plant part eaten, etc. This is a layman's site, not a scientific paper; be gentle.
