Ok, Sunday the wife check on the chicken tractor and there was a rat snake fleeing and one in the box. She beat the fleeing one to death and pulled the one out of the nesting box also sending it to it's maker. Both were thrown in the burn barrel so that there would be no coming back from the dead.
Monday I think that we got three eggs and yesterday one. Today none. These six 8.5 month gals were putting out 4-5 eggs a day. Are they just not laying now because the snake freaked them out or is something getting the eggs and then leaving? We've been checking multiple times a day and have not found any more snakes.
