Are my chickens safe with Arum Italicum?

We have 4 chickens, they are young and yet laying, and have started exploring the garden.
We've got an Arum Italicum (or Lords & Ladies) growing, a goods ways away from them, but they are really exploring far and wide, and I am worried about them pecking at it?
I know it's poisonous for humans, I've read that Blackbirds love to eat the berries when red, but are chickens safe with them?
I've popped a patio planter over top of it, but it's got really big this year! (I only discovered it last year and it was through this forum that I discovered what it was!!)
Many thanks!!!!!

 

Chickens wont eat things that are bad for them, except cellotex

I believe its just the roots that have too much starch in them for us to eat, i'll have a look up about the berries.

 

Oh no, they have got some pretty nasty stuff in the leaves & berries too, aroine, saponin, cyanogenetic glycosides & oxylates.

Probably won't taste that good with that lot in. I've had chickens for a long time, and Arum lillies in the same garden, never noticed them being eaten though.

 

Ah thanks! Had them less than a week, I've become a bit of a mother hen myself!

 

Well, we have lots of Arums and had lots of hens and never a problem.

 

It's like Rhubarb.....said to be a big and yet my lasses have made a right meal out of mine.....thankfully with no ill effects

 

ah thank you! they are really inquisitive and been investigating everything - right now, I'm inside, and they are all at patio door, pecking their beaks on the window and having a right good look inside! I might dig up the Arum anyway - although my little girl is very sensible and knows the dangers (I don't her she could die if she ate it - or didn't wash her hands if she touched it, but just not to touch it anyway...shock tactics they may seem, BUT it's important she knows)..... so she's ok, but what if we have other children over, little ones even, that won't know...?
Thank you all! Chickens are just mad and great :-)
