Chicken poop in the raspberries...to eat or not to eat?

[ErikaV7]

Hi there,

We are first time chicken owners and recently had the bright idea to move our chicken tractor into the raspberry thicket to take care of an earwig infestation. It worked! But then we realized they'd pooped in the raspberries for several days. Is it okay to eat the raspberries with all the fresh poop or would you not eat them? What about turning them into jam where they'll be boiled?

Thanks!

Erika

If its not ON the raspberries it'd be fine, but if its on the raspberries I wouldn't. Just wash them before.
I surprised they didn't eat it! Haha
