Lead exposure to chickens ?

[kyron4]

What concerns should I have with lead exposure to chickens as they free range ? There is a small "shooting range" on the property with a dirt berm back stop. The chickens go all over the place free ranging, should I be concerned with them eating lead fragments and then me eating their eggs or meat ? -Thanks

I would be concerned about lead toxicity for you and the birds.
Course it's hard to say if they are gong there and if they are eating any lead.
Not sure they would eat a bullet, but they might ingest shot.
If only bullets are used they should be pretty well buried in that dirt berm.
