Too late - Lawn sprayed with Chemicals :( :(

[Violet123]

Is there anything I can do??? Can I flush part of the lawn or do I just have to wait?

I had NO idea my lawn was going to be sprayed with chemicals today while I was at work. It was beyond my control and no one else was home to say, "we have chickens now, please stop coming!"

I am already fuming about it because it is completely unnecessary and unsafe! I never wanted it even without chickens. I have read other posts that don't recommend it, but in my case its too late so I'm looking for any suggestions.

I have a 6-week old chick that I graze during to the day. I didn't today because I thought it would be hot and didn't want to leave outside alone - at least I'm relived I didn't do that!

Specifically the lawn was sprayed with:

40% SCU, 2% Iron, Prosedge Nutsedge treatment, Quinclorac Cragrass with MSO, and battleship liquid weed control



Any ideas?

You only have one chicken?

I'd keep it off the lawn for a few weeks, less if it rains a lot.

You'd have to look up the exact chemical names to find out the risks...would be alot of research.

I'd keep her off the lawn for a couple weeks and water the lawn really well several times a week to wash it down. What an awful dilemma!
