New chicken additions

I rehome them alright --- into vulture tummies.

Ya gotta do whatcha gotta do! Stupid snakes.

I saw a big one in my barn last weekend. He crawled away real quick so I didn't even have a chance at him. BUT - he seems to be doing his job against rodents and so far has been leaving eggs alone. Course I have to do my part too and keep the eggs picked up as soon as I see 'em. No broodies in that barn - thank goodness!

All I know is Mama is very protective and if she moves away for a minute and the baby happens to move then she'll search and search until she finds the baby plus this one doesn't have a strong chrip/peep like the others.

I agree...wet, not newly hatched

I'm having a dilemma. I have another rat snake in the coop eating eggs but I also keep seeing rats running around when I go into the coop.

Get it, GET IT and THE RATS also!
Then come to my house and get the snakes that live under the rocks by the small pond.

Just One Bite rat poison. It works.
