PLANTS POISONOUS TO CHICKENS

[Appalachickens]

My chickens LOVE to eat yellow jasmine flowers! They wont touch the vines but fight over flowers.

Also, my Mimosas drop their large ferny leaves and the chickens love them. Are they OK for them to eat?

Big Google says the seed pods of mimosa contain a neurotoxin and the leaves and flowers can also be a risk. I cut down any I see, but it has always because they are invasive where I live and crowd out the native plants I want.

Thanks for info, I've been trying to remove all seed pods I see, as I'd heard they could be an issue. Squirrels seem to like the green pods, so they eat most of them before they fall. I have seen chickens eat a few of the flowers though
