Can Poison Hens Show Immunity to Gopher Poison
The U S Biological Survey notes that chickens and wild gallinaceous birds appear immune to strychnine poisoned grain. In field and lab work with the Canadian Government, Public Health Service, and others, quail five to six ounces can eat lethal amounts of poisoned grain without dying, while thousands of tons of poisoned grain have killed rodents but not game birds. Barley and oats are used as vehicles and grains are screened to remove weed seeds that might be eaten by small seed-eaters. John Burroughs is cited: you cannot poison a hen with strychnine.
