Sweet Potato Leaves

Can chickens eat sweet potato leaves? Note: sweet potato leaves are edible for human beings.

And they are really high in protein.

Sweet potato leaves are fine. However regular potato leaves are not

Thank you all. It is good to know that they are safe for chicken. They are about 28% of protein. And they are easy and cheap to grow, too.

Another question: what plant is this? Is it walnut?
