I started with 10 golf balls. I counted them today. I got 5 left. So maybe that's 5 critters that won't be visiting my chickens again.
I got a roll of the .5 inch x 1 inch wire and I think I am going to just make a tap out of some of it.

This is the fastest way I have ever revived a sick chick. Thank you for sharing this method with everyone. My Grandmother taught me this when I was a child taking care of her birds. It realy works guys.
nice idea about the traps....but the snakes I got here... i really don't mind being cruel to them ... so far I have had 3 rattlers and 2 copperheads in my nest.
not a pleasing sound to come into the henhouse to gather the eggs and hear a rattle...........
I would never had thought of using a minnow trap. Around my place I got the prairie rattlers and copperheads. I have yet to see a non poisonous snake here and I been here for over 2 years.
I got a few cookie friends I guess I could give the rattlers too. They'd probably eat them.
Got me...
I placed a whole container of new golf balls in the nest themselves for the snakes. My Grandfather did this all the time when I was a child. Did I do the right thing as my golf balls have been disappearing?
Wow. After looking through 21 pages of postings, I found no one like me. I am 1/2 Choctaw Native American. I was taught by my Grandfather the Old Religious Views and Beliefs.
So what religion am I? I guess I am a Child of the Old Red Road.
thanks so much.. I have been coming to your site for over a year and kind of out of the blue today I went ahead and joined. I have used the knowledge of the postings here several times on my own flock. So now I have joined and can maybe repay to others the info I have got from here.
