I had a rooster eat a couple of young columbine shoots a couple of years ago in the spring...he’s still alive and well, although vet references say columbine ingestion will affect poultry cardiovascular health.

Chickens will try just about anything once. So even if it is somewhat toxic if they aren't dead or seriously sick they probably won't continue to eat it having determined it isn't edible.

Oh dear. Did not know Columbine was bad for chickens. It’s on my front step in a pot. Time to get rid of it!
