Thalia Geniculata or Alligator flag - Is it safe to feed?

[countrygirl1]

Hi,

My dam has Thalia Geniculata (alligator flag) growing very successfully around the edges. I have been cutting it and feeding it to the girls. They love it especially the seeds in Summer. Do you know that this is safe for them - they do love it, the leaves stems and seeds and haven't shown any adverse affects. It makes a great green feed for them as it grows so fast, faster than I can keep it under control.

Thanks

I know that most flags are edible but have no experience with feeding it to chickens. However they seem fine so I'd guess it's ok.
