I live in south carolina. This has been as especially bad year for fire ants because of all of the rain. Mounds are everywhere. I moved my Cornish Rock crosses to a tractor yesterday but now I am terrified the ants will get them. These birds are so slow moving and sluggish I am afraid they won't be able to survive in the tractor and the wire bottom pen that they were in is too small for them. Advise is most appreciated! Thanks......
 
My CX are in a tractor, and we also have several mounds. I'm careful to not drag the tractor onto or through any mounds, but other than that, they don't become an issue. The two times I've had dead birds in there, then the ants would start in before I got them out (matter of 30 minutes!), but they seem to not bother the live ones.
