The girls have a new enclosure and there's loads of ivy in it. I saw them pecking at it (and the berries) this morning... they weren't eating loads of it, just having a peck or two and then wandering off.

Is it poisonous to them? I know it is to us... so even if not to them, could it come through their eggs that we eat?  :blink:

Hi Beki

There's a link here to all poisonous plants which does mention ivy but also talks about cats so

I have ivy dotted about the place and mine never bother with it.

I have Ivy around and my chooks take a peck now and again, they seem to be fine. IMHO they will avoid stuff that is naturally poisonous.
