My 4 and a half week old chicks ate tomato leaves. HELP!!

I know tomato leaves and raw tomatoes could be dangerous for chickens but mine are still chicks and ate around 6 small newer leaves and I'm scared because they've never had this much before, only a few nibbles but nothing much but today they managed to get in and eat a ton. They eat other leaf like spinach and veggies and mixes of grain but I'm still concerned. Any help or advice??
Keep any eye on them. I am sure they will be fine.

But know that my silkie and barnyard mix chicks ate 4 full grown Tomato plants - leaves and all - huge luscious beef steak tomatoes red ones ready for me to pick, green ones and all the leaves - leaving just the stocks. They also ate my Petunias and my other plants.

They lived - still are 3 yrs later, even though we threatened to wring their necks at the time 😁 I no longer attempt to grow any plants at the barn.
 
Thank you everyone for the help and advice it has really calmed me down as I really like the chick so I'm hoping he'll be all good as it was small new growing leaves. I will keep any eye on them and prevent them from getting to the plant. Thanks everyone! :)
