    Ants swarming chickens head and neck !!

    update: she’s not eggbounded, i’ve checked her vent and it felt very hot, her crop is soft, she’s gasping, no discoloration anywhere on her body, no lumps or bump, and she can move her legs and neck but not her wings (she cannot stand on her own)

    Ants swarming chickens head and neck !!
