Thanks for that advice. On a similar theme, is it true that chooks instinctively won't eat things that are poisonous for them? I read a list of chicken-poisonous plants somewhere, which included hypericum (St John's wort). I have several bushes of that in my garden, with juicy looking berries - does that mean I need to fence those off if I let my girls free range?
Thanks - very much a newbie!
