Ants & Chickens

One reader said that her chickens eat the ants. That is good to hear. I have been thinking about getting some chickens. I know they will eat lots of bugs but didn't think they would eat the ants that bite so hard.
Now to be able to aford to build a chicken coop.

  1. ... there is a chicken rescue society in the Uk, and the people involved rescue chickens from those awful battery-hen factories, they nurse them back to health and then re-home them with people who want chickens as pets. It is a great organisation, I wonder if there is one in the US, or maybe battery-farms are illegal over there? I wish they were here, they are illegal in Sweden. There was a report on some ladies who knitted little sweaters for battery chickens, as when they are resuced they have no feathers (they are kept in awful conditions) so they need these tiny sweaters to keep them warm until their feathers grow back. I only ever buy RSPCA approved chickens eggs. I think it would be wonderful if you get some chickens ... how lovely! I'd love to have a couple of chickens too, but I think our neighbours may complain!! xxx
