Chickens and Maypops?

[carolinasculpture]

Hi! I have lots of Maypops growing on my property. They are the fruits from passion flowers. Anybody ever hear of any problems with feeding them to chickens?

I would only feed them the very ripe fruits. Don't give them the green fruits or the leaves which can be toxic and/or irritating. I also grow several varieties of passiflora

Not all of them are edible but the common maypop "Incarnata" is.

Great, thanks! Thanks for the link, too. I will just try them with a few ripe ones every now and then...they just seem to love that kind of stuff so much!
