Honeysuckle, cameilia, crepe myrtle ? Safe for chickens?

[rubysmom]

Does anyone know about the safety of these plants? Its hard to find out if you don't know their proper names.
Will chickens not eat things that are bad for them or poisonous?
Thanks.

crepe myrtle is fine, I asked the same question over the winter. My birds were eating the leaves and the seeds/berries, no one got ill from it.

That's one down.
We're planning on growing honeysuckle over the top of the run to provide a lovely, fragrant smell for our very close neighbors

Anybody know about this one or cameilias?

I read in "Fresh Eggs Dailey" that honeysuckle was poisonous for chickens. I was wondering about the crepe mrytle myself bc mine were eating the leaves
