You're not very patient are you?
What would you have someone do to help you since you haven't really stated a problem. The birds ate some moldy raspberries but do they appear to be having a problem as a result? I doubt they will.

I'm sorry, I'm just worried. They got into some old, moldy raspberries, I saw them this afternoon. They are my neighbors chickens, and are probably up in the coop. I don't know if they are sick.

To play it safe, a molasses flush will be good. 1 part molasses to 40 parts water. So 1 TBS molasses to 2.5 cups water if small flock or adjust accordingly if larger flock, let them drink that for 4 hours and remove molasses water, that should help flush out any toxins. They should be fine, but better safe than sorry. I did read stories of hens dieing from eating molding food, usually their feed.
