Chicken grazed in Roundup!

[Birdie mom]

My dad sprayed our gravel driveway 2 days ago with Roundup to kill the grass. I had let the hens out at around 10ish and completely forgot about the Roundup on the grass... I looked out the window just now and saw that the chickens were eating the grass in the sprayed area. What should I do?!?! I am putting the hens inside now. How long till they start showing symptoms? Will they die?! Any help is appreciate. Please help!!!!

What's happened since? Activated charcoal would have been my first response but I'm no professional. I do hope they are ok

I’m so sorry! How are they doing now @Birdie mom?

Good move @black_cat

They seem fine now. I think they were only in the roundup sprayed area for a short amount of time, thank god!

I don’t use chemicals on my property, as chickens will find their ways to wherever you don’t want them to go.

Roundup flavored eggs, wonderful. Yuck!
I hope none of them ate much out there, it's nasty stuff. At least for a while, don't eat any of their eggs. Did they get out there the same day it was sprayed? Or two days later? Find out how long it lives on the ground.

I just looked and Roundup can last in the ground from anywhere from 1-174 days. Yuck indeed.

We all have choices; yummy home grown eggs and chickens, and nothing toxic out there, or spray away, and don't plan to eat home grown.
