Help Asap--possible Chicken Poisoning

[Tumbleweed Farm]

My DH just sprayed a large area in our yard with Roundup. To my horror my five month old chickens are in the sprayed area eating weeds. Will this sicken or kill them?

 

[RHRanch]

Don't know. Contact roundup with info number on back of bottle, maybe?

Get them out of the area!

 

[Tumbleweed Farm]

Got them out of the area, pray its not too late. Does anyone know if it will kill them?

Glad you have them out of the area. Do you know how long they were eating the vegetation before you removed them? Or have an idea as to how much they ate?

I have no idea as to whether the RoundUp will sicken them or kill them, but giving this info may help someone else help you.

In the area about 20 minutes, don't know how much greenery they ate.

If they have not shown signs of illness by now, they may not have been exposed to too much.

Take a look at this and hopefully someone else will respond. I am too new to be of much help:

Thank you GA and everyone else who responded.

Hope all of your chicks will be okay.

Please tell your DH that RoundUp is on the banned list!
