I had a small flock of 11 chickens for about 5 years and slowly over about 6 months to a year they all died with the apparent symptoms of Merrick's Disease...I have a flourishing Angel's Trumpets in in the coop area where the chickens roam. I just looked up the symptoms of Angel's Trumpet poisoning and not I'm beginning to wonder if I lost my flock to poison instead of Merricks. I've waited 6 months since the last death and now I have 3 new chicks. I don't want them to have the same fate! I also have a flowering ornamental potato vine in the coop area that the chickens love to eat. The chickens seemed to leave the trumpet alone- but maybe I was wrong.
Does anyone have any insight into this? Thanks
