Red maple

[McPeckles]

I’ve just read that red maples are poisonous to chickens but I can’t find why. There is a maple tree near my coop that will eventually be tall and somewhat over the run area. I’m just trying to get info on what they can’t eat of the maple and why. Thanks!!!

Is it a Japanese Red Maple Tree or a Sugar Crimson Maple Tree?

I know it’s not a Japanese maple. It’s one of the common maples in Florida. I have to look at the leaves and double check but I am pretty sure it’s a red maple.
