FIRE ANTS!!!! Killed 7 chicks.

FIRE ANTS chicks can eat them I know they killed then and I am so sorry for u and them

Well what happened was...my hen ,Paisley,had 9 eggs. They all started hatching at the same time. My husband and I went to Walmart. When we got home I immediately went to check on her. The fire ants were by the hundreds!!! All over the eggs still hatching and covering the chicks that had. It was deathly hot. The ants were seeking moisture. They sting. And they inject a venom. It was just too much for these lil babies. It was a shock to their lil systems. I was so upset and devastated. Crying as I picked ants off their bodies. I was stung multiple times. But who cares?! I was trying to save them. Was able to save two. Which are thriving!!! I was determined to never let this happen again. Now,Paisley built her nest outside of the coop. On the ground. I hated this. But I figured she knew best. Well it was fine until hatch day. So when Brownie did the exact same thing....no....uh UH! I moved her and her eggs to a safe place. And Walah! Success! Thank you for your condolences. I really appreciate it.

God bless you,
Glory

That's great to know because I have 30 acres of them!!! My house sits on about 4 including the front yard, back yard, pond and surrounding woods and all the rest are woods. I just worry about bugs and stuff (like ticks) and going out to gather them. Maybe I will go garbage picking in the suburbs one day and pick up all those big orange pumpkin bags they fill leaves with!!! Less for me to rake up and way lighter than sand and pea gravel!!!
