So last year my birds were free-ranged, they got to wander all over the property freely. They quite enjoyed themselves too. I noticed them jumping up to eat the red berries off of a bush in my yard. They absolutely loved them and were perfectly fine afterwards. I finally got around to researching what plant this was, and according to what I found it is a tartanian honeysuckle bush.
I have heard this plant is not edible, but wild birds love them. I'm wondering where chickens stand on this.
They no longer have free access to this bush so I don't need to worry about them getting to it if it is toxic to them.
 
I don't know about that plant in particular, but chickens are birds and people are mammals. So sometimes they can safely eat things that we people should not eat. :idunno
