I currently just move the shelters around the fire ants but next year when I build more shelters, that will be difficult since they will all be in line with each other.

    Fire ants

    Will fire ants kill my chickens? We just found an infestation in our coop and are suddenly losing chickens like crazy. We’ve explored several different possibilities for their deaths and I guess now we’re grasping at straws, but I noticed the dead chickens are completely covered in fire ants.
