    Lawn care and backyard ducks and chickens

    Okay, so my husband insist on spraying our huge lawn to kill weeds. Also weed and feed on a regular basis. I don't let the birds out until a long time after spraying, but now I don't know if I can eat the eggs... They haven't started laying yet, but could be anyday. Any information appreciated.
