We have a small flock of chickens n a a very small rooster. I often see the hawks before he does. So I went looking for a guard goose, not many goslings available in my area. So I bought 2 eggs, borrowed an incubator and off we went on this adventure. It was difficult candling 1 egg showed no...

I think I might miss it if I tried hitting it with a shovel. Kudos to you!

I agree for the venomous ones I bought a long snake grabber from Amazon and a nice machete. And so far we've grabbed n decapitated 3 copperheads.
