We are novice chicken people. Our pullets are almost 6 months old. They free-range in a part of our backyard garden that is currently fallow. From what we read, our understanding was that chickens wouldn't eat things that are poisonous to them. It was also our understanding that rhubarb is poisonous to poultry. So we didn't worry too much about the rhubarb plants they had access to. However, last night we noticed that they ate a significant amount of the rhubarb yesterday while they were out. They seem to be fine this morning, but we're concerned. Should we be worried about them? Should we move the rhubarb?
