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.
 
Thanks chickengurl:)

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

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
 
Crape myrtle: Lagerstroemia indica.
Honeysuckle: Lonicera (plant the native sempervirens, not the Japanese japonica(.
Camellia: Camellia!
