Weedkiller Applied To Lawn...When Is It Okay to Let Chickens Out?

[SpokaneWA1988]

We had a weedkiller/fertilizer treatment applied to our lawn on Tuesday & I'm feeling pretty bad for our hens because we haven't let them out of their run since Monday. When do you think it would be okay to let them out? Any opinions on this?

I wouldn't let them out on it until a week has past or 24 hrs after a heavy rain.

Hmm, we actually have gotten really heavy rain over the past couple of days.

Why not just let the chickens do they weed eating and fertilizing? They are good at it
