FREE RANGE feed.......What about a list of Dangerous pants for chiciks

[mrsp523]

Thanks for letting me know which style pants work best on each type of chicken. On a serious note...thanks for the post...was wondering the same thing today about poison type plants for our feathered friends.

Yep, we have several Polk weed bushes in the yard, with pretty looking berries and the chickens only taste them, maybe peck at them occasionally, etc. but they don't eat them and have never been sick/poisoned.

Our yard is dangerous I know, the chickens hang out in the worst possible places like under the deck where small trash tends to accumulate (falls through the cracks and nobody wants to crawl under there for a dropped bottlecap or poptop) There are a lot of bits of glass, tile, can pop-tops, staples, pieces of plastic, occasional zip-ties, DH's cigarette butts......if any of the chickens have eaten any of that stuff it hasn't caused them to be sick.

I can name at least 10 different types of poisonous plants within a 20 ft. radius of my coop and no poisoned chickens. I'm sure there are plenty more, especially out behind the coop in the woods, but there's 10 that I can identify.
I have to watch for my DH breaking the tabs off his coke cans and throwing them down. My Lilith will go after them every time. I swear that chicken is part magpie!
