Chickens have eaten Blue Potato Bush

[Rhodeislandsilkie]

Hi today I was trimming my blue potato bush and a rather big branch fell off. I cleaned it all up but I forgot to leave out one of the branches which had a lot of leaves on it. After that I decided to let my chickens Forage. They found the plant and began to eat the leaves. I took the branch and threw it away but now all of them have eaten it! I did research and it says that the bush is toxic to chickens. Is there any way I can prevent them from dying or getting sick? Thanks in advance!

Hopefully the chickens are alright!

Poison like that is not very strong and often causes a stomach upset.

Do you have an update?

Yes, it has been a few days and they are fine! They seem to b okay and they may have built an immunity towards it since I've seen them foraging in the plant for years. Thanks for the help!
