Peace Lily was mentioned in the list above but I had a big one
outside before I knew they were toxic to chickens. They ate all
the leaves off to a nub. I didn't lose any chickens but now I
don't take the chance!

We have huge azalea and wisteria everywhere and it hasn't been a
problem. Maybe they don't eat the leaves. They definitely
forage under the bushes.

[/quote]Mostly, they know what to avoid by themselves. But, ours
eat Styrofoam so who knows!

Thank you for posting this list Kathy. I had a chicken eat a
caladium through a fence a couple of years ago and she was sick
for about a week. She recovered but now Caladiums only go in
the front yard or in pots on the patio.
