The bump inside this stupid snake is my 1/2 grown plymoth barred rock

I'm in Queensland and it's pre-hibernation period for snakes so the snakes are rampant, persistant and filling their guts with everything. We don't have a dog but after that encounter I'm thinking a chicken guard dog is the way forward.

I like snakes and this one get respectfully re-located a really really long way away. It was my own fault this chook was in a temporary coop while I was intergrating her to the main flock and clearly is wasn't python proof.

I sympathize with anyone who likes snakes and has to deal with them eating their loved chooks but I wanted to show this to show that not every chook eating pest should get its head smashed in, shot, slaughtered, maimed, slashed, bashed, trapped or killed. At the end of the day they are hungry, chickens are an easy meal but, I feel, most if all we invite them in for a free easy meal.


still crying about it though

So I take it you randomly have such large snakes roaming around... I hardly think a dog would have stopped it. I have seen pictures of those snakes coiled around and swallowing larger things than chickens.
 
Sorry for your loss, we do not have pythons but do have big ol rat snakes and racers and my dogs take them out the instant they detect them in the birds area, they will dig all day and night if they have to to get a snake.












 
I actually encourage snakes to hang out here. We have a lot of species but abut the biggest we have would be a 6 foot black snake. I can see snakes here eating eggs or chicks but it hasn't happened yet. They sure do eat a lot of mice though. I'm afraid the chickens are going to kill and eat the snakes. I've seen them kill and eat frogs, mice and wild birds.
