We just bought our first home and started raising chicks for the first time. Yesterday while we weren't home, my father in law came over and fertilized my organic lawn and organic garden without permission! Needless to say, I am absolutely LIVID! I shoveled out as much fertilizer from the garden as possible, but have no way to get it out of the grass or the chicken's run! What can I do?? Will my chicks be poisoned? I think it is just fertilizer and not pesticide, but I am so angry!

I would find out what kind of ingrediants were in in, and then water, water, water! Try to keep the girls away from the heavily treated areas. Good luck!
