I have been off for a week due to company and so much to do with chicks. However the other night my friend and I went out to collect eggs and she put her hand in one of the nesting boxes and a snake struck at her. OMG we almost had strokes!!!! I have never seen a snake back there before. How about ya'll?

I haven't seen any snakes in the nesting area but I know they've been there from the missing eggs that the broodies where sitting on.

That is one of my most scary memories. I was checking eggs and had locked the chicken coop door behind me so the chickens wouldn't get out. It was dark and I reached to get the eggs out of the nesting box and picked up a snake. I screamed so loud !!!! I am not sure if me or the snake was more scared. In my hurried state I couldn't get the door unlocked and get out of there quick enough. I never checked the eggs in the dark again. Gayle
