The queen may struggle to move so she will probably not move alot, but i think she will be ok.

heres a few more pictures of my colony.

She looks a little strange (the queen) in deed. ;) as long if she is healthy (and laying eggs) my guess that she is going to be just fine. but i never had this with one of my queens (maybe she was in a fight after the mating time)

Looks like they where hungry. good job. ;)

yeah i wonder too, or maybe one of the workers got hungary ;). i havent seen her lay eggs yet. how often do they normally lay eggs?

Looking at the description, it says they can be kept with other ants? So if you put a another colony close to them will they be at peace?

Alan I have formica fusca and myrmica rubra in peace @ same nest, but it's because they both are peaceful species, lasius niger is very agressive and it will probably kill all the other ants , but im not sure, these ants maybe fakes the indentity or something.. I dont know. Anyway lasius niger probably kills/tries to.
