Plants for run, can I put them right in ?

[Tracyree]

I bought some
Plants for the run just to give them some interest in there. Butterfly bushes, ornamental grass and a crepe Myrtle. If the eat them, whatever. But I’m wondering if I need to leave them outside the run for a while in case of pesticides or fungicides….

My dad has sprayed wee killer and stuff around my chickens we’ve never had problems so I would go ahead and put them in,maybe just rinse their leaves off first

rinse their leaves off first

Probably that would be enough, I do think the chickens may eat them (mine would for sure)

Unless your chickens are really young or there's a LOT of fresh pesticide on it, should be fine. If you really want to be cautious leaving it out shouldn't hurt
