My guess is that if they eat it it won't do them any harm. Chickens know what's good and what's not. Mine won't touch it more's the pity as I have enough to feed an army of them  |

| gave mine a small handful and they wolfed it down. Just hope it's safe, everywhere I look it says chickens won't eat plants that will harm them, so I hope that mine know what they doing. |
