Aww, poor chickies!

I use pine shavings and bins. The first couple of days we cover the shavings with paper towels. . .however we don't have chicks too often.

So I was reading about a certain type of bird for ant control. . .after catching up on all these posts I've already forgotten the type! Guess I'll go back and look.

I do NEED to know how to get the fire ants out of my corn plants!! Any ideas??

guineas- that was it- do they really work? Wont they eat my plants as well?

I'm pretty perturbed with the ants right now. My corn is just coming up and when I went to look into why some mounds did not have any growth I found they were full of (bad word) ants!

Ok so have Sulmet and Wazine going in the waterer right now.

Can I use that on my duck? I want to go ahead and treat the older birds just to be safe but I don't know if a duck can have it too.

Hey and

It was nice to meet you at the swap. I'm not far from Aiken (15 mins). I live closer to North Augusta, but my address is Trenton.

Hi John

Great meeting you, too! I think you should have brought more of those pullets like snick got - you could have sold them all! I can't wait to see how she turns out.

You NEED Guineas! They don't eat vegetables or plants, just insects. They might occasionally eat soft fruit (like strawberries) but they never touch my tomatoes and I haven't had cut worms on the tomato plants since I got guineas. They feast on fire ants and ticks!

For flies, you need muscovy ducks!!!

Joy says guineas for fire ants.........I have been to her house - walked in her yard in flip flops ( I think I had on flipflops lol ) - not a fire ant in sight.
I am deathly allergic to them - I carry a dual epi-pen.

I been asking for some guineas but DH says no. So far no ant hills this year..... I guess if I get bit again he may get me a couple or three
