are you sure you’re talking about real chickens?

Probably not:

My ducks

I thought there was something stupid. Obvious I’m not good in simultaneous reading and answering several threads.

My ducks are stupid. They don’t seem to know what is good and what is bad. When I first insulated their house they would eat the insulation like crazy as if it was cotton candy I’ve also cought them eating styrofoam. Don’t know how they aren’t dead yet

My chickens did the same thing. I read somewhere that for some reason chickens love insulation and styrofoam

Most animals have pretty good instincts on what they should or shouldn’t eat(except for a lot of dogs, it seems ), i wouldn’t be too horribly worried.

If it’s any consolation, I live somewhere where there several “toxic” plants, and have never had any issues with free ranging making chickens sick. It’s pretty amazing actually!

I agree with others here, be more prepared for chickens chowing down on everything in your garden that you don’t want them to I’d say put together a plan to keep your birds away from any leafy greens and brassicas at the very least
