Weeping Willow Tree

Hope it’s ok because they’re snacking on the leaves now!

I have just purchased a Weeping Willow Tree and I'm deciding where to plant it. It provides great shade, but is there anything about it that is poisons to poultry? I can plant it away from my coops if necessary. However, if it is safe, I would consider using it to shade my chickens and ducks.

For whatever reason my weeping willow leaves are a preferred food of both my chickens and my geese. It is the first thing they run to browse on when I let them out.
