Yes. Too many potato leaves and rhubarb leaves will poison a hen but they are very selective in what they will eat. You do not have to worry much about them eating an amount large enough to do much damage. They may try to eat them but they will soon move on to tastier treats like almost anything else growing in your garden.

Note: Do not feed hens raw potato peels either, the peels must be cooked or they may get too much Solanine (the green part of a potato peel).

Are potatoes bugs poisonous?

Yes, this is because the potato plant itself is poisonous. The only non-poisonous part of the potato plant is the starch inside the tuber. You are not even suppose to eat the potato peel. And under non-circumstance are you to eat of the potato fruit. Because the potato bug can eat the potato plant it inherits its poisons. Keep in mind though that "poisonous" does not mean "venomous". The potato bug may be poisonous to eat, but it is not venomous, meaning it cannot bite you and inject venom into your body. The only way you could ever be harmed by a potato bug is if you ate enough of them to become sick from their protective poison.
