about whether chickens could eat it, so I did a search and found an interesting site that said do not feed them to chickens.

This is a list of many plants that are toxic, or potentially toxic to poultry. Note however, that even if chickens have access to toxic plants, they will usually avoid them. Care should be taken however, as there is still a chance of them ingesting harmful plants, especially if they are very hungry.
