    Help! Is an Amaryllis plant poisonous?

    My chickens just ate some of the leaves. There was no flower on it. Gardeners came and stuff got moved around. I just got home from work and found the flower pot in the chicken yard. I'm so upset. I hope they will be ok. Is there anything I can do or watch for? Thank you for advice.

    "Egg Less" in the S.F. Bay Area

    She was acting weird and broody like that in May. Only back then she was always running away from her sister. I kinda think she was being bullied. She did fluff herself out especially her neck feathers. She was being picky about which nesting box she wanted to sit in too. I couldn't pick her up...
