Pesticide sprayed on Chickens

[NHChickengirl]

Hi Everyone, Do any of you have any experience with a pesticide company spraying your chickens? They came to our house in error and sprayed all my organic yard, organic gardens and herbs and our chickens. Then we found out they have been overspraying into my yard behind my chicken coop for a couple of years now. I am trying to find info on how this is effectiving my chickens life span, egg laying, can we still eat their eggs? I have so many questions. Anyone ??

First thing is to find out what pesticides have been applied. Get a copy of the SDS (safety data sheet) from the company that sprayed. I would take the SDS to a vet and see what effects it has on animals. I would also see what they plan on doing about your ruined organic yard.

What are thir feathers like? Helthey hens have soft smooth feathers even if their naked necks.

Agree with True Patriot but will add 'at the pest company's expense'. They should offer to pay anyway to stop you suing.
