I went out to the coop yesterday to bring the eggs in and it is crawling with black ants, are they harmful to our hens?

So do mine - and they go mad if they find the ant eggs.

Don't think the ants stand much chance. Can you open house roof during the day and let the girls have a free for all?

When the flying ants appear the hens go nuts for them!

I might put some in the coop
