Toxic ?? GROUNDNUT (APIOS AMERICANA)

[JaredandLauren]

I am wanting to landscape around my coop this spring and am wondering about this climbing plant. It’s perfect for my zone and seems like a great option but I am having a hard time figuring out if it’s toxic to chickens and ducks .

There’s nothing it could invade. I’m in the high desert out here in Colorado and my coop is just in a big open flat field it’s not close to the house and it isn’t close to any manicured portion of the property. I need something to grow abundantly so it gives some interest to the area . It also loves nitrogen rich soil which is perfect for using duck and chicken manure on it.
