In case anyone needs some chicks.

I'm thinking about getting some straight run chicks for $0.95 and put all roosters in the freezer.

Can someone please slap me and tell me NO!

Yes, tons more mounds than this time last year. I let my chickens scratch in the mound, my rooster has a thing for the queens.

It's not just us!!? I am about ready to rename our home Ant Hill!!!! We have been fighting those nasty pests and I don't think we are winning. I do not know how to fight this invasion without putting out poison, which I don't want to do because it wouldn't be safe for the things I DON'T want poisoned.

Wow I get busy at work & ya'll are filling up the pages!

The Southern Living cartoon is funny - thanks for the laugh!

So sorry about the frog - we have one that's hung around our back door for years, too. He likes to get in the cat's water bowl to cool off. I am forever fishing him out of there! I don't think Minou cares for frog-flavored water.

Will most certainly say a prayer for the family of the little girl; what a horrible tragedy.


OK got to go tackle the stack of mail that just hit my desk! Back to work!

There are too many to let my chickens eat them. I think the ants are about to eat the chickens. :/

Does anyone know what kind of snake this is? It took out an unknown number of meat chicks today. The shovel is one of those kids wood and metal shovels.

No, not just you. It's BAD BAD BAD at my place. I noticed it yesterday in one of my duck pens where I have about 10 ducklings and one 2 month old chick and she kept stomping her feet. As I observed her closer, I noticed that there are ant ALL over in that pen . The pen is about 30 feet long and the ants are all over. I went to the store to buy some Sevin Dust but I will need more than that. I don't know where they are coming from but they have got to go!!!

I'm the same as you. I don't want to put out poison because the chickens will peck it and die. I'm searching online for natural ways. I think I read something about orange oil and water? Still looking into it.

If anyone finds natural ways to kill please post and I will do the same thing. :/
