In my research I hear the snakes are attracted to and eat the eggs. Also, they might injure or kill chickens. I see at least 1-2 snakes each summer before having chickens. I hear hardware cloth will help keep them out.
I don’t know anything about chickens. Worried about mice and snakes. Any advice on that would be appreciated.
I am from Maryland. No chickens yet but I got all the things for the brooder. Researching all the coops.
Thoughts on automatic coop door?
Thanks for having me.
