You need wire with smaller openings!OK, i've about had it with snakes!![]()
This morning, I found a very well fed garter snake in my outdoor chick brooder. With five suspicious lumps in his body. Was so fat that he couldnt fit back through the wire, or was too full & lazy, I dont know. Either way, I destroyed him. That makes 7 chicks i've lost out of this batch in 2 separate incidents. Of course, the Blue Andalusians that I hatched from eggs I got from another member here on BYC, were amongst the most recent victims of this reptilian onslaught!![]()
Weird, because I never had a problem with snakes before this. Unless you count that time my dog was bit on the foreleg as she innocently walked past a bush a baby rattler was hiding under. Ugh.![]()
