These two appear to grow exclusively in shaded areas under the Piñon trees.

And these in the sunlight away from trees.

Are any of these good for chickens?

Not sure on the first one but it may be some form of nightshade. The second looks like Lamb's Quarter and the last looks like Western Lupine.

Lamb's Quarter is edible and has a lemony flavor when picked young. I have never seen my poultry eat any of these. I believe that nightshade is poisonous.

Interesting, of all of them I would have thought the first to be the most edible just from the appearance. Glad I don't try giving the birds some without asking.
