I sprayed some thistles that were near the run, didn’t phase the weeds at all haha. We ended up dragging down the really tall thistles with the tractor and then mowing them down. I’ll probably still use sevin dust near the cockroach heaven. I’m not overly concerned about it, it’s not in their future run."Phase 1: cleanup. Weed whack all overgrowth and possibly spray perimeter with weed killer and fire ant killer."
I don't know if you have already done this (this is a long thread; don't judge me), but don't use any weed killer or ant killer or ANY type of pesticide! Your chickens will wind up with anything you put into your lawn through bioaccumulation, and if that stuff kills ants and weeds, it will kill chickens. Beware!
