I have a lot of space constraints in my yard and just built a run in a fairly wild section of it - literally the only place I could - and consulted lists of toxic plants before doing so. There are beautiful mature Jasmine, wisteria and other climbing plants along the fence. I knew wisteria to be toxic and removed it from their immediate run area, but not jasmine or vinca (aka periwinkle), as neither showed on on the lists I looked at. Now I’m seeing them on other lists, and am wondering why there’s so much inconsistency on the topic. I really don’t want to take down the Jasmine and the vinca is hard to control and provides a lot of shade so also prefer not to remove that either. Anyone have experience with these plants and chickens or have opinions on whether they would actually eat them if they are well fed and have plenty of other forage around? I know the logical answer is to move the run but there is literally nowhere else for it. Also know the obvious conclusion is to eliminate the plants but don’t want to leave them with a bare patch of dirt. The inconsistencies among all the lists I’ve looked at are making me wonder. Thanks!
