name that weed

can someone identify this weed? it appears to be something in the nightshade family, and i wonder if the chickens could eat it. obviously leery. but they have picked my yard pretty clean, and i am looking to weeds at the farm that i can harvest. these are kinda plentiful. the berries are purple when they ripen.

feral cats and dog chews

ok, first, feral cats. i know there are some in my hood, but would like them to hang out a little closer to my farm. i am getting some good advice on all matters feral cat but we are stumped on one point- how to put out food for feral cats without attracting exactly the kind of critters that the cats are supposed to repel. especially in the beginning. so, any ideas along these lines are greatly appreciated.

second, dog chews. so, one of my pups has allergies. we have managed to find a few types of dogfood without beef, pork or potatoes. what we need now is chewies. rawhide is out. our favorite- cows feet is also out, and the obvious replacements- goat or deer are too small to be safe chews. looking for buffalo feet, but leary of getting beefalo. working on finding some goat or deer femurs, but...
the other good one is antlers, but geez, i think i can get a leg of lamb for the cost of a couple antlers.
anybody have an brilliant ideas on where to get good alternatives?
