Anyone know what kind of bush this is?

Dunno why it posted twice.

A type of Euonymus is my guess but I could be wrong

Would it be safe to let my chickens around it?

I think Euonymus has serrated leaves, which this doesn't appear to.

The name of this is on the tip of my tongue, I know it but can't remember it. I use to have a bunch of these growing along my fence at my old house. I'll see if I can find the name.
Edit: I believe it is a type of privet, not 100% sure however.

* I wanna say Holly Bush. I see lil red bulbs on it. *

* Or Oleander. *

It's definitely NOT oleander. I grew up around that bush and could spot it from a mile away. Are the leaves waxy? Also what do the veins look like?
Look up bay laurel or sweet bay. By photo, they have a lot of similarities. Good luck!

I think it's some sort of Hawthorn. I went and looked around at all the plants at Lowes and that's what it resembled the most.
