yeah but where was he when you needed him for protection, he could have eaten the little buggers

Belated hello to all . Hot tough day at the field trial - tomorrow is supposed to be worse, and I am no longer 25. Or so my doctor tells me.

Don't believe the doctor Sour...you're as young as you think (at least, that's what I've heard)! But really, be careful out in the heat.

Bad day after church this morning! Red ants on my porch steps. (bit me all over)
Broke my spray nozzle, while washing down my legs and feet. (All I wanted to do, is give my birds some meally worms)

I am sorry about the red ants! We do not have red ants here....yet. Are the ones there invasive?

They are tiny Red/black ants. And they invaded me!

Sadly, I cant get any of my chickens to eat ants.

Chickens do not like to eat many types of ants due to the formic acid in them. That is what hurt you when they bit you

That generally works until I look in the mirror.

But why did they attack me like that? I usually sit or stand in that area, (most of the time) to get to the birds level, to feed them snacks. Never happened to me before?
