Hi Norm
In my limited experience, my chickens ignore any fungi that pops
up in the lawn - they just don't touch it. But then, while
they're out on our lawn, there's lots of other stuff to eat. I've
seen a fairly bald field with field mushrooms and the chickens in
the field weren't touching them, either. But I don't want to
guarantee your toadstools as safe!
But I'd never give my chickens lawn clippings - I've been told
they can compact in the crop and kill a bird. I've never done it
though, so can't say that that's a fact, either!
