Are laurel berries poisonous to hens, or will they naturally avoid them if they are harmful?  I want to allow my chukkies to roam, but am worried about the daft ones finding interesting but harmful titbits!

Hi CC. 

Yes they are, but we've got plenty of poisonous plants in our garden, and the birds don't seem to have suffered.
But it's probably not a good idea to have one in their run.
There's been a couple of threads about this recently, try searching the forum for "poisonous" and "laurel".
Good luck.
