Well, I guess if you don't mind sacrificing a few eggs in exchange for rat control, it's not a bad thing. I'd be inclined to get it out of the chicken house, but that's just me. We don't have them here in MN anyway, so I don't really have to worry about it.

(Not sure how I'd feel about something like that hanging around in the rafters...)
 
I rescued a 5' black rat snake that got caught in some bird netting I was storing in the barn. Took about 10 minutes with a knife to cut all the netting off.
My reward? It (I assume) has been eating eggs. (the coop is in the barn).
Had 39 eggs under three hens. Down to 34. One I found broken, and one was in its mouth. Relocated it to the woods, but this morning there's another missing.
Gotta find out how it's getting in!

I chuckled a little about you rescuing a.k.a. "taking in" the rat snake then finding out that in reality that the snake "took you in."

May as well laugh about it now and face the "music", the toe tapping music about a snake in the following link that is, hope that you can laugh about it.
