Yes. Humans and other mammals are sensitive to some of the chemicals in an oleander. BUT these same chemicals can be eaten by rodent and avian species. Chickens are avians (birds). It is a similar situation with milk. Humans generally like milk, but it can kill a chicken since they do not have the proper enzymes for metabolizing milk. Oleanders are not a chicken's favorite food, but if they eat a bit now and then it will not harm them, and the chemical that humans are sensitive to will not be deposited in the egg.
Chickens can safely eat fresh bay leaves. You can toss some into the chicken coop with them to see if the chickens want to eat them. It is not a good idea to put them with the chicken's food.
They can eat grape leaves and grapes. I cannot answer about the green vine leaves without knowing the species of vine. Free range chickens are pretty smart when it comes to comestible selection . Few chickens will eat what is not good for them. If your chickens are picking at the green vines then you can be reasonably sure it is edible for them. Grape leaves are perfectly good for humans too.
Laurel leaves are fed on by many different insects. Spider mites, greedy scale, oleander scale, shothole borer beetle, cutworms, and aphids are all insects that feed on laurel leaves.
well, no cause chickens are vegitarians. <--- whoever said this is an idiot ...so yes? they can? chickens CAN eat artichokes, would they choose to? i dont know. Chickens will eat just about anything you give them including meats,fish, etc.. They love the artichoke plant leaves and will pick through the eaten leaves of the developing seed heads after they are consumed by humans. (Human food consisting of the outer leaves and heart of the developing thistle seed pod). The answer is yes they can eat artichoke and it will not harm them.
Yes they are. My dog ate about 3 dried oleander leaves, unknowingly to me I did not know they were poisonous....she vomitted, got dehydrated, and went into renal failure. 3k later, and a awesome vet in Scottsdale, saved her. Nasty nasty trees.
No, chickens should never eat milkweed. Some other things chicks should not eat are prickly poppy, oleander, yew, and agave.
Yes, especially the leaves, these are releshed by chickens!
Ours do!

Yes, Chickens do love to eat hostas. The chickens are destructive poking holes in the leaves and nibbling the edges until they are ragged, or gone.
No, they will not.
Chicken will eat anything accept for cherry tree leaves .
Chickens should not eat elderflower leaves, as they can be toxic to them, potentially causing digestive upset or other health issues. Ivy leaves are also not safe for chickens; they contain compounds that can be harmful if ingested. It's best to provide chickens with a diet rich in safe greens and vegetables while avoiding potentially toxic plants. Always consult a vet or poultry expert for specific dietary recommendations.
yes they do. they eat different kinds of leaves like tomato leaves . (I have a chicken and it eats leaves , It also eats your left overs and bread.)
Nope
You should wait until after is leaves the hen. After the egg is laid eat it.
Almost all vegetables and fruits. But it is best not to give them potatoe skins, as these are from the deadly nightshade family and can poison your chooks (and will kill rabbits and guinea pigs)
