safe plants for chicken/duck yards?

Actually, I found this site through BYC. I'm going to start a new thread there also regarding this topic, but thanks for the suggestion.

Hi sianara,

Here are some more that I found over here in the UK!

:happy_flower THESE SHOULD KEEP YOU BUSY FOR A WHILE!!!!!!
The last one from Kew lists a CD ROM you can buy with a comprehensive list.

I've just edited to add a US site which, if you scroll down, has another list of lists -- Hmmm!! If that makes sense???

Hope this helps a bit more.

Wow Hattie!

Thanks for the great links. I started reading and then felt my eyes rolling back into my head, so I had to stop for awhile ..

Now, I'm thinking I should have done a search for SAFE plants instead of non-toxic. I think using the word "toxic" is what has brought me the plethora of plants of which mostly WERE toxic!

I will go through all the links though and I really appreciate your efforts.
