Ducklings and buttercups

[Animalfan]

Hi, I have four silver appleyard ducks there still only about 4 weeks old now. They have almost out grown there brooder so we are building them an out door pen. In the pen there are buttercups and I’m worried that they might have poison in them. Are they dangerous to my ducklings? Should I remove the buttercups?

Oh my, okay I better dig up All the buttercups. Thanks For your help

It says some so maybe you could google which ones are in your area and then find out if they are. I think it would be best to dig them up https://equusmagazine.com/horse-care/protect-your-horse-from-toxic-buttercups-8505

That’s a good idea. If the ones I have are poisonous then I will dig them all up.
