I'm not particularly bothered what happens to the plants, we have tonnes
of
potatoes growing, but I'm a bit worried that hte chickens are munching
through what I had assumed are poisonous plants, put up as a barrier to
stop
them coming down the steps.

Can chickens eat potato foliage or should I remove them?
(I always thought they had one of those "know not to eat them" things
about
them, but they were also eating bluebells, which I think are also
poisonous)

Both plants will not do them much good. I would advise removing your
chickens from where the plants are.
You cannot always rely on their intelligence, the phrase "bird brain" was
not coined for no reason.
Having said that, they *do* often know what or what not to eat but I would
not allow mine to eat potato haulms or any part of a bluebell and if they
did, I'd remove them from where they could.
Hope this helps.
