everything on the internet says beans are toxic. I’ve cleared all tomatoes and peppers out of my gardens before letting the chickens in to forage, but one bed had a few yellow bush bean pods that had dried and fallen and that I missed. of course they found them, ripped the pods right open and ate them before I could grab. it wasn’t an enormous amount, but there were a few. I moved the girls out of that bed so they shouldn’t be finding any more. how much bean eating will cause a toxic effect? to be clear, these are not kidney beans, but a yellow bush bean you’d eat fresh in summer, that had dried in the pods. thanks
