What kind of weed is this?

[Madhouse Pullet]

I've read the article about weeds and herbs but I didn't see this one listed.

I've got a lot growing around the house but wasn't sure what kind of weed it was and if they were safe for chickens?

Possibly one of the various purslanes.

That is NOT purslane! Looks like spurge, a poisonous weed. Break a stem. If white goop, aka latex, comes out it’s definitely poisonous. If the leaves are fat and succulent it’s purslane, but those look like normal leaves to me. Best to play it safe with this one. See attached image of purslane. Note the thicker, water holding leaves.

Definitely not that. I thought it kind of looked like Japanese clover but not sure. I definitely don't see white stuff coming out after breaking it.

I think I finally found what it is!
prostrate spurge
But now I want to know, is it safe for chickens?
