trees in run

[scout24]

Hi, I'm building a run with a few small trees in it and want to make sure the trees and their berries are ok for the chickens to be around. One of the trees is an eastern red cedar and the other one is a russian olive. Are these ok or do I need to remove them before the run goes up?
Thanks.

The trees sound like they would be okay in the run, people say cedar is a no-no but thats only in an enclosed area, and when it is cut up to allow the oils to escape.

Sounds like you will have lucky chickens! We want to see a pic when you are done!

I'd make sure that the chickens can't get into it and use it for a liberation launching pad!

Otherwise sounds fine.

Plant an elderberry and have fun watching them jump for the berries!
