Snakes In The Coop

Nothing hacks me off worst than snakes eating my future babies out from under the momma hen.  That is what has happened to our duck and chicken that are sitting.  Not to mention the lack of eggs we have been getting lately.  That always lets us know we have a problem in our coop.  That is when we wage war.  We go snake hunting in the coop and we take no prisoners.

      Last nights hunt we didn't find any. You can bet we will be back out tonight too.

      So far they have all been nonpoisonous rat snakes. The copperheads that I find in the yard get the shotgun.
