We were treating a bindweed infestation with spot application of bindweed. We now have added free range chickens to the mix.
Can we still use crossbow safely? If so, how long do we need to keep them off the pasture?

Hello,
I looked up a general crossbow label and it says that there aren't any restrictions for grazing except for lactating dairy animals.

You should double check and look at the label of the product you have purchased, but from what I am seeing, you can allow the chickens back on the pasture after the spray has dried.
