Another newbie questions about chicken runs and plants

[BYOChickens]

If chickens like to forage in gardens or the wild...what if they eat plants that are poisonous to humans??? I know a lot of plants in landscaping have leaves or berries that are poisonous to us. What do I need to know about this? Does it pass on to the eggs...I am assuming it would. Am I wrong?

I wouldnt sweat it. If the plants are poisonous, they probaly won't taste good, so they will more than likely pass on them. I haven't seen my hens eat anything poisonous. They are gonna have so much to choose from ,and the will seek out their favourites, like regular grass, dandelion and plantain, etc.
