Chickens at Amdro Fire Ant Poison Granules

[The Chick Addict]

Hello,

A family member put Amdro Fire Ant Poison flakes/granules on several ant mounds in the area my chickens free-range without thinking about it, and as far as I know, two of my chickens and possibly more at about maybe an ounce of one mound and a smaller amount on a second mound. My New Hampshire hen got the most of it. I have no idea what to do, is there anything I can do at all? I'm very worried.

Contact Amdro or Poison Control to see if you need to do anything special.

There's an old thread about the ant bait as well, you may want to read it along with researching the active ingredient. Generally Manufacturers have some safety data sheets available on their websites.
