Can chickens eat Cranesbill, Geranium sp?

[SBlanton]

I am trying to find out if chickens can eat Cranesbill, Geranium sp.? I have searched everywhere and can not seem to find the answer.

I have it all over my yard and am wanting to make sure it is okay.

Thanks!

We have that growing all over up here--this will be good to know. Here's a link for a pretty exhaustive list, but I'm not finding it on either the safe or toxic list. http://www.poultrydvm.com/

It looks like geraniums are safe for chickens and it is a type of geranium. So it looks like it is safe.

Cool! Although, I don't think I'll be gathering any--there are enough dandelions and other flower bed weeds, and those little wild geraniums make me smile.

I’m sure others have given a satisfactory answer, but I’ll put in my 2 cents. The link shows the flowers and gives an organic description. Anyway, it’s in my yard as huge mounds and I trim it down and yes, my girls love it. It has a nice scent they’re attracted to. I’ve seen them ignore other plants (not as good for them?) but Wild Geranium is a fav!
