I'm working on a list of chicken proof plants for the garden around my coop/run. When I say "chicken proof" I mean firstly that it won't harm the chickens, and second that they won't mess up the plants too badly. I know there is a great list of toxic plants, but if you are like me it's hard to look at a list of forbidden fruit and think of "what can I do?". here is what I have so far. Please, let me know if you have anything to add (or amend):

Marigolds
Verbena
lilac
Lavender
Violas
Grape Hyacinth
Myrtle
Penstemons
Spiraea
Honeysuckle (some have poisonous berries, some not)
Magnolia
Forsythia
Buddleia
Ferns
Juniper
Redcurrants
Flowering Currents
Daylily
Cotinus - Smoke Bush
Weigela florida - needs some protection from the girls
Rose
Blue spruce
Echinacea- coneflowers
Coreopsis
Sedum
nepita
