Bougainvillea plants! Are they toxic?

[djennings]

I have a vine bougainvillea that I was wondering if it would hurt to plant next to run to cover their fence.

It is non toxic to chickens.

Don't forget to consider the thorns on this plant.

my chicken coop is under a bougainvillia, the girls love to eat the leaves, definitely non toxic- however since they like to eat it the lower half of the bush is a bit bare, so if it's a young plant you might want to block it off so the chickens don't destroy it.

Thank you!
