The OEGB are not yet laying, but appear to be integrating in Silas' flock. That's lettuce they're attacking.

Zaccheus and three of his gals.

Sickle feathers are finally growing back.

Uh oh...look what I found this afternoon...

They're in a similar area to the colony that entered my house and my dresser drawers, AND my clothing!

Texas Two-step time. Buh bye.

I wonder which hen laid that pointed one?

Never permanently, but control is possible. A couple years ago they were all over the yard, and I was trying to be "live and let live". But then I discovered they'd invaded my house when I put on a clean shirt and got stung! I researched, ordered Texas Two-step, and treated 56 ant nests, most in my backyard. The next year I found two, three nests, something like that. I've treated a few this year, but that big one has got to go!
