Chrickens around flowers&fruit

[loosley]

Hi all,
Maybe a very silly question, but i'll ask anyway..
Looking to buy some chickens again soon and fixing them a nice run. The space I've got in mind has already got some
flowers in it as a rose bush and a few blackcurrant bushes. Can I safely leave them there or do I need to remove them?
I tried googling it, but all I find are chicken and blackcurrant recipes :?
thanks!

Hi Loosely

Blackcurrant bushes are fine and you find they rarely eat stuff that's poisonous to them anyway, they seem to know what is poisonous and what's not.

They will really enjoy having some plants and shrubs to peck around and to provide shelter and shade, being descended from 'jungle fowl'. I have found some of mine like some types of rose leaves, and they will love jumping up to eat the blackcurrants.
