Can chickens eat rhubarb leaves?

If one of your chickens has already eaten this and you are worried, contact your veterinarian.

Why

Toxic to chickens. The leaves contain oxalic acid. The leaves contain high levels of oxalic acid which can cause kidney failure and death in chickens. Even small amounts can be fatal, so there is no safe quantity to feed.
