Leicester_H Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Cutting a long story short, we had Green Thumb treat our lawn with a herbicide on Tuesday. They said to keep children and pets off it for a few hours. I insisted that OH (who was there when they came) expalined that the chickens ate the grass (ie didn't just come into contact with it like other pets). They said to keep them off for 48 hours - they had had no problems with chickens. I was/am a bit concerned that they were going by past experience (how much?) and not by manufacturers recommendations. Does anyone know anything about this ? Thanks in advance, H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poachedegg Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 We use Green Thumb and sometimes the chickens are on it soon after and they're fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 That's a coincidence . I had a lady from Green Thumb round yesterday. She said keep them off for one hour after treatment. She said they have a few customers with chickens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
