Not chickweed:

More likely Purple cudweed:

There’s a dandelion in there too.

Thanks gump , the 2-4-d got the dandelions , and your link says it may take several applications to kill the other , but that’s what it is !

You could hit it again with roundup and 24d if the grass is still dormant or spot spray it.

I would think it would. I would pull that stuff up by hand. Use a long flat head screw driver to get the roots up. You could also treat the yard using Trugreen, Ect..Also Scotts makes a good weed and feed product to put in your spreader to knock down weeds next year. Its worked well in my bermuda yard.

If you are greening up I would spot spray, the Bermuda will be stunted if you spray the whole yard. A weed and feed will not help with those weeds most likely as the rates of 24d and dicamba are quite low.

Way to much to hand pull , the crappie are biting and it’s almost Turkey season , I sprayed my whole yard a week ago and most is looking sick, I mixed up a little stronger batch of 2-4d today and spot sprayed this stuff , will wait a few days and spray it again if needed , thanks for y’all’s help !
