For the past few weeks my flock of 13 chickens have decided to eradicate all the fire ants on the property. Yeah! Seems they have have developed a penchant for the taste of these tiny little pests. I am surprised at their voraciousness. I can see that they are getting burned by the ants because they peck them off their legs while doing the "ouchy dance". I never knew they would like them so much. But I am sure glad.
In the desert my chickens always left the fire ants alone. Those ants were much larger for sure though. Anyone else have fire ant eating chickens? Or is this unique to the southeast?
