Is Oriental Bittersweet vine poisonous to chickens?

I am planning to train the bittersweet vine to climb and cover the coop to create shade. Are there any parts of it that are deadly to chickens in case they peck at it. Here is a picture of what it looks like...it is not the american bittersweet. http://graphics.boston.com/resize/bonzai-fba/Globe_Photo/2007/10/17/1192665164_9523/300h.jpg

1. Oriental and american bittersweet are planted to attract birds to the yard---bittersweet is usually a second choice--an emergency food supply--but I know bluejays like it. shouldn't negatively affect your chickens---they will eat the berries for sure.
