Are Bluebells (flower) safe around chickens?


not for me for a friend who has been told they're poisonous but can find no info online about them...

I'm not sure about the upper part but the bulbs certainly are, as are daff bulbs. I must admit I dug all of our bluebells and daffs out of the hen areas.  The hens do roam around the garden and don't seem to bother the daffs. They are enjoying my broccoli and cabbage too much in spring  ::)
