I want to plant a flower garden again! I have a list of plants and I’m not sure if they are toxic to my ducks. Will these flowers be fine to use? My ducks won’t be near them, not in it, (unless I’m watching them) but just incase they do I want to make sure they are safe! :)
Marigolds
Dahlia
Daylillies
Tulips
Sunflowers
Zinnias
 
According to that database:

Marigold - safe
Dahlia - not listed
Daylily - not listed
Tulip - not listed
Sunflower - safe
Zinnia - not listed

Sheesh...looks like most are not listed. According to other online references:

Dahlia - consensus seems to be safe
Daylily - Lilies and Lily of the Valley are listed as toxic, and I believe I have seen daylilies specifically listed as toxic as well
Tulip - toxic
Zinnia - consensus seems to be safe
