Can I feed my chickens salmon berries, blackberries and huckleberries?

Forget the natural toxins.
Do they eat processed 'foods' that contain artificial flavors, artificial colors, artificial sweeteners, MSG, GMO, high fructose corn syrup, etc. that the FDA says are safe? That's were the danger lies. Your body can deal with some natural toxins but has no idea what to do with red dye #6, disodium guanylate or aspartame.

I agree.

Yes blackberries, salmonberries etc are safe. When blackberry season hits I have far more berries than my chickens can ever eat! Keep in mind blackberries in particular will dye the poop black and stain their beaks as well, so don't be alarmed if you see color changes.
