Lost a lot of eggs from snakes or at least I've narrowed it down as of yesterday, snake was hung up in deer netting on its way to being dead. The molting had been one reason for less eggs but I think this snake is the culprit. Any suggestions

Just keep him I have two roosters in same pen with some hens, no problems they pick at each other but the young one backs down. The funny thing is I have some hens that hate the little young fellow, they do the chasing and plucking lol after him and he runs like crazy. Chickens do Funny things!!
I too have an occasional pooped egg! But I just rinse as soon as I get them in the house, air dry with clean towel. I know the shell will soak up germs if prolonged to wet conditions so I don't spend excess amount of time, just clean and rinse. We don't clean the eggs to use for hatching.
