You need to get a specific ID on the plant - a lot of plants share the common name 'Trumpet Vine' and some are highly toxic. There is this info on two plants that are also known as, among other common names, Trumpet Vine. No. 'Green beans' are the unripe fruit and pods of various cultivars...

Quote from ask.extension.org (generally a reputable source of info): Quote: If they're dried they're even less likely to be eaten, so it may be safe enough, but that is your call. Best wishes.

Best wishes.

Sweet potato leaves are safe. Normal potato leaves can be toxic, from mildly sickening to killer toxic. The toxin responsible is solanine. You can gauge how much solanine is present in raw potatoes by how green they are, to some extent, but obviously you can't tell just by looking at potato...

Not sure who you're talking to specifically, sorry. I haven't ordered any eggs so I assume it's not me... I while ago I thought about getting some eggs from America but there's been such a ridiculous amount of super-expensive hurdles for importers I gave up the idea. Exporting is about as crazy...

If you're talking about Japanese Knotweed, no, it's not toxic according to almost everything I've read, though some disagree, but it is harvested in bulk for animal and human fodder in some places and has health benefits. It's helpful to get the botanical name and a sure ID on a plant being...

'Chooks' is chickens, plural; singular is 'chook'. It's just slang that's especially common in Australia but also some other countries. ;)

Yes, X2 what Ridgerunner said. It's important to make a distinction between caged and free ranging chickens. A plant in a run is a very different situation to a plant chooks encounter while free ranging. Chickens which have free ranged and have shown good sense in making dietary choices before...

In large quantity, yes. So are green tomatoes. That said mine have always had access to tomato plants, both leaves and unripe fruit, and they will taste some and make up their own minds about it. Never had any issues with it. Best wishes.

Interesting Rebekkalyn. Also, greetings and I don't know what Omri approved Aloe is but I've been reading some interesting information on aloe vera. We have both 'normal' and one example of a pharmaceutical strain of it, plus their crossbred offspring. My animals (sheep, goat, chooks etc)...

Haven't looked through it but it does look handy. Quote:

I don't know what they'll do, but chances are they will test taste it. If it's not extremely toxic chances are they will survive those test tastings and learn not to do that again in future. Some possibly won't be so smart. Any more info would need to be based on a sure ID of the plant you're...

It's toxic in large quantity, the seeds especially, and especially to humans, but overall a quite low risk to animals it seems. They can process many toxins we can't. Many people on this site have their animals including chickens and ducks eating wisteria flowers, leaves, etc, regularly and...

You're very welcome. :) Best wishes.

White Profusion Butterfly Bush is considered safe for humans, dogs, cats, etc. Roses in general are safe as well. Rosemary is also safe unless the concentrated oil is consumed, which can cause miscarriages. Some sites say rosemary is toxic to cats and dogs but they don't appear reputable and...

Plants have varying toxin levels, their chemical makeup fluctuates nonstop just as every other living being's does. It responds to cloud levels, moisture, sunlight, storms, drought, insect attacks, its own reproductive stages, etc. They can be perfectly safe to eat one hour and kill you the...

The Canterbury Bells and Tiger's Eye Mix I don't believe are toxic, however the California Poppy may be toxic if eaten, more specifically over-eaten, and particularly the roots. Best wishes.

Hello and Sorghum is toxic at a certain life stages, generally beginning at 2 years old, or after it's cut or been allowed to seed (reports vary and it varies between types too) and it will kill cattle that are allowed to graze it, never mind chooks. Sorghum can contain lethal levels of...

You're welcome. Best wishes.
