Chickens ate weeds sprayed with weed killer

[Penradical]

I didn't know my gardeners sprayed our backyard with weed killer. We let the chickens free range in th same area a few days later. We have been getting small eggs from two of our girls. Is this a sign of being poisoned? I don't know what to do and I feel terrible. It's been a week since they sprayed the weeds and about 4 days since they have free ranged in that area. Would I see other symptoms by now? Thank you.

Yikes! Yeah, I think you would have seen symptoms by now but just to be on the safe side, you might want to post your question on the ER Forum: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/10/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures

I do hope that they are OK.
