Help identifying plant with berries

[lilnuggets]

So I have this plant that is growing like crazy near my chicken coop and next to my tomato and peppers . I didn't plant it and have no idea what it is. I live in southern az if that helps. Trying to figure out what it is and if it it's animal (dog/goat/chicken/duck...ect) safe or not.

I’m pretty sure that is black nightshade https://extension.wsu.edu/whitman/2013/11/black-nightshade/

Toxicity: Moderate. While the plant itself is very toxic, it is also unpalatable, and rarely does an animal consume enough to cause a serious or potentially lethal poisoning. Toxic risk is higher if the plant is included in processed feeds. All animals, including pets, may be affected. All parts are potentially toxic; some believe the berries are often higher in toxicity.

Oh, I have no idea, but I grow lots of edibles and would most likely pull it out. Those berries look like they could be toxic, I don’t recognize them as something edible, better safe than sorry.

Looks like nightshade to me also.

Thank you I had no idea where to start with trying to figure out what this was! I have done some googling on night shade and that definitely looks like it.

The nightshade we have here is different: has red berries. Agreed. You should destroy it. Wear gloves when you pull it. Night shade also goes by the name of Belladona: affects heart rhythm.

Yup we have both round here the other common nighshade is bittersweet nightshade. (pretty blue flowers, green berries that turn red, vine like plant) both are toxic.

def. nightshade. Yank it and toss it in the trash, not the compost.
