You're going to have to outsmart the ants, and crazy ants are pretty clever problem solversI was worried they would swarm the eggs. But then thought: Yeah, well the feral chicken population (every 20 feet) can make it, then my hens can weather the storm! I mean they have acres to roam.
Just want to keep the coop cleaner so they can roost in a bit more peace, and grab a super snack in the morning. Thank you for your well wishes.
