Looks like night shade to me, if so very poisonous.

I guess the birds and my chickens would have eaten them up if they weren't poisonous.

Makes no sense for a berry to be poisonous, since the plants that produce edible berries have the survival advantage of having their seeds spread further and faster. Oh well, their loss.

Night shade is supposed to be safe to eat if ripe but poisonous if unripe. Not worth the trouble.

If you assume that they’re poisonous, they can’t hurt you. An animal eating it with no problems doesn’t mean a human can do it too.

Me and my mother used to pull it up from around the horse corral. In case the dumbshît horses tried to eat it.
That and Jimsonweed.
I hate horses, hope I never own any EVER again. Stupid as hell
