Hi,
New member here. I have 18 hens (one rooster until Saturday, he's 'chilling' in the fridge. Mean old buzzard).
I have a 80' pond by the house that the hens drink from when they free range. The pond has been overcome with 'creeping primrose' each year to the point where I want to use Roundup. I would like to use the blue dye in the pond, but I have no clue if it will affect the girls or the eggs.
Anyone have any experience or input?
Thank you so much!
Carl and Sandy Masters.

My Indian Runner and Mallards are not interested in the stuff at all. If there was some fish or other critter that would eat it I would be all for it!!!

EDIT:
Sorry for the repost, I was on the iPhone app and it was acting goofy.

Awesome find, FireTigeris!
I think it would be neat to have a species thrive on my pond, but would really like to rid the pond of the problem altogether.

I'l keep looking for a solution unless someone here has a cure.
