Are Herbicides and Pesticides Safe for Chickens? Exploring the Potential Risks and Precautions

Great to have an article about the risks of pesticides/herbicides. The plants and seeds they sell in the shop often contain lots of poisons too, especially the extraordinary flowering plants like Lillies. Best buy organic of food grade if you have a choice.

I want to add that where I live we already have problems with chemicals in our water (rivers/lakes) an on the ground too. Especially the unbreakable PFAS (Tefal, fire extinguishers, special clothings) are becoming more and more an issue. 40% of the eggs from backyard hobbyists contain too much PFAS.

Good information! I would just add that using coffee grinds as a replacement for fertilizer is a win. Works pretty well and avoids the landfill.

Good article on the dangers of using pesticides and herbicides around chickens, and the other options you can explore instead. For me, my chickens ARE my pesticides and herbicides, haha. I just let them loose wherever I need insect control or weed removal, and they get right on it

Very well set out article full of helpful information.

This is a wonderful article on pesticide use and how it can negatively impact our birds. When at all possible, avoid all chemicals on lawns and gardens that your birds may come into contact with. Great article!

Very informative and thorough article full of useful information
