I am a new keeper of chickens and I want to know if I can use weed and feed, slug pellets etc on my lawn?
Cheers

Duh, I don`t think so.

If you are free ranging your chickens on your lawn, or you have a movable coop you can't use any kind of weed killer..

Maybe oxford1 means "paltry" ...

... perhaps he has a pathetically small number of chickens!

I would personally use a touch or sage with plenty of seasoning.

Lol Lankeela! Ive been told that rosemary and thyme enhance the flavour of a roasted chick - but as i dont eat chicken, i just take people's word for that!

Personally I love to softly boil a freshly laid chick egg, make up a load of toastie soldiers and have a good dunking session!! Bliss!!!

Ps: Im easily pleased!!!! :o)

[alfieblue]

Actually, were you the real Lankeela???? Not sure whats happening now with this site!! :o(

[alfieblue]

After seeing your other postings ........ I know you are not!!!!
I think you are going to be reported :o) Enjoy the remainder of the weekend.

Please don't use any chemicals with poultry.They will eat the slug pellets and die.My chickens eat the slugs and snails so i have never need to use pellets.
A good site for poultry keepers is http://kelseyinfo.co.uk/yabb/YaBB.pl

Hello Oxford and welcome to AB.
You must excuse some of the ******* who make brainless remarks about a perfecltly sensible question. Some of 'em actually have orgasms whilst they compose thier crass answers.
You should avoid useng granular weed and feed and use liquid. but hens know what they like and I doubt if they would consume more than one granule of fert' or more than one slug pellet and they won't die if they do.
Do KILL all slugs and snails with pellets and don't take a blind bit of notice of these psuedo conservationalists who encourage you to use a "green" way of getting rid of 'em.
Do have a look at the link "rexy" has posted
