Zucchini leaves

[Starlightones]

Hello,
New chicken owner here. Can chicken eat zucchini leaves? Also, I have tomato plants and read that tomato leaves are toxic. My girls love tomatoes it’s their favorite. Do you think I need to intentionally keep them away from the plants or do they have instinct to know it’s bad for them and avoid it?

I don't believe they will eat the tomato leaves. Mine have never shown any interest in the leaves. They do seem to know (with plants) what they shouldn't eat. But you might find your plant isn't safe, if you want to eat any yourself! They eat all the fruit and even dustbathe at the roots.
I haven't heard anything against courgette leaves, but I can't see them eating it? But chickens have different tastes, so they might.

The internet tells me that squash leaves are edible for people, so I would assume they are also fine for chickens to eat (if the chickens want to.)
