are these weeds okay for chicks to be around?

hi, sorry if this is in the wrong forum but i have these really tall weeds and then some little prickly ones on the ground (a LOT) and i was wondering if chicks are okay near these? i was observing them (4 week old gals) near the weeds earlier and i didn’t notice any issues with them pecking around. the second photo is the weeds that are annoying to step around lol

I think Telegraph weed and Burr clover, it should be fine.

Here's an excellent resource to have on hand for toxicity in plants: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/comprehensive-list-of-poisonous-plants-and-trees.627282/

Neither your telegraph weed or your burr clover are on this list, but I can tell you that chickens generally do ok around toxic plants. They will tend to taste them, but move on to other things, especially if they have a steady supply of good feed available to them. For example, I have pokeweed and Junipers EVERYWHERE on my property, never had an issue with toxicity.
