It was a four foot bullsnake. The darn thing ate three eggs on day 5 and we took it far away (not far enough), then it came back about ten days later and got into a scuffle with our broody and another egg broke, it wasn't fertile, so it wasn't actually a loss.
She kicked that snake's butt out...
Sorry for the losses. :-(
So glad that some made it through! We have a broody that started out with 11 eggs had a loss of four to a snake and two have hatched successfully so far, waiting to see if the remaining five will hatch. It's really sad when they start to hatch and die in the process.
