Chicken deaths #880515

Asked August 07, 2024, 10:49 AM EDT

Farmers sprayed Bean fields next to me and my chickens started dying that night . The fumes were very strong, the drift was towards my place. Their combs are turning purple and I am just finding them dead all week. My bees around my flowers all dead or struggling to survive. Anything I can do to help the rest survive???

Good afternoon. Very sorry to hear about this situation. We have checked with multiple educators and we do not seem to have the expertise to advise you on this. Our only suggestion would be to connect with the Msu poultry teaching and research center. Here’s the contact information for the center. :
