These are what I have identified in the ditch so far.. the pecan trees are safe, right???

In my experience free range chickens have avoided eating possibly dangerous plants.

I am with @sourland, I think they will ignore them.
By the way, I don’t think Pokeweed is poisonous to birds. Toxic to mammals but not birds. I don’t know specifically about chickens but song birds feast on the fruit and spread the darn things everywhere!

I either pour hot water or 40% vinegar on the weeds to kill them.

I have a huge pokeweed plant growing right next to my coop. None of my free-range chickens have ever been injured by it or any other plant

I tear or dig them out along with their roots before they are able to set seeds.
Wearing gloves is important as some like deadly nightshade (belladonna) are poisonous for humans too.

If it’s a small thing, throw a black plastic sheet on top, if it’s tall, cut it down, then throw a black plastic sheet over it. If it still produces babies, pick them from the root and throw in a bag.

I post this every year to my social pages cause we'll I'm THAT person so maybe it'll help

That is good to know! My fear is when my husband mows the ditches, the pieces will fly into the coop area. And they will eat the bits…

Just get a tarp up to prevent the bits from getting within their reach.

Logic….. why do I have none? That makes perfect sense.
