Osmocote and chickens
I let my chickens roam when I’m gardening. Will Osmocote harm them. I would like to apply on top of my mulch.
Thanks, Karen

I am no vet, but I do know other gardeners that use Osmocote and let their chickens roam and have never had any problems. I would suspect that if a fowl eats an Osmocote granule it would not be too tasty and so a large quantity of Osmocote would not be consumed. The granules contain plant nutrients not pesticides so are not considered dangerous to pets. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
