Yes I do and grit I am not a complete novice but with regard to some free range *Grazing* I find so much contradiction so I am open to as much advice available

You might stop by this thread for a list of plants that are toxic to chickens... https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/comprehensive-list-of-poisonous-plants-and-trees.627282/

This said, chickens love to forage in gardens looking for bugs and some foliage. As long as nothing is toxic, its all good!
