Did you know there are certain plants that chickens like the Barred Rock chicken should not eat as they contain high levels of toxins and poisons? Ask your vet for a list of all plants that are toxic to chickens. In general the azalea, boxwood, buttercup, cherry laurel, daffodil, daphne, and foxglove are among the list of plants and flowers that are toxic to chickens. In most cases, chickens instinctively know to avoid these plants. However, if you have free ranging chickens, it’s important to make sure these particular flowers or plants are not accessible. Symptoms of possible poisoning include depression, lethargy, tremors, excessive salivating, and inability to move. If your chickens for some reason decide to pick at these plants or even eat them, call your vet right away. Be prepared to tell your local animal hospital Marietta, GA exactly which plant your chicken ate as this may help in a quicker treatment.
