We let the girls go out in there run today they had a blast and ate the green stuff growing in there run....well I come back in and get on the computer and realize that buttercup is poisons to animals....we don't have the kind that was mentioned on the list we have what is known as creeping buttercup....we are going to try to kill it in there run and did some research on what you can use to kill weeds with chickens but I am worried about the stuff they already ingested. They really seemed to like it. I thought they would leave it alone if it was bad for them....since it causes burning and can cause blisters but nope they thought it was great
Is there anything I can do for them at this point? Also while they where out there one of them caught a hunny bee and ate it is that ok for them to eat? Now that they have been outside in the sun and all the room they don't want to go back in there brooder and keep getting out to run around it's pretty cute but now they have to wait another week before they can go in there brooder (they are six weeks tomorrow).
