It is a Bull Snake or sometimes called a Gopher Snake and they can be very friendly. We have several on our property and they help with the rodents, never have bothered chickens or eggs...
You guys (gals) are crazy! There I am gone for more than 24 hours and I get to read ALL these posts together. How am I supposed to recover from laughing if it just keeps getting worse? There WILL be a "made my day" award for threads in the near future and the AZ thread will keep it indefinitely. This is way too much fun... keep posting!
No kidding! I came home yesterday to 4 pages to read. Gallo is wrestling snakes, TT! is giving away mop heads, Laree is calling TT! promiscuous, Mahonri is going to bed smiling thinking about it, and Constance is snorting her wine! It's too much!

I've considered N. AZ. Love it but it's not in my price range and I'd really like a lot more rain fall. I'd prefer more natural pasture/grazing for the horses.
I lived on OK for 11 years and grew up in CO. We'll probably move to OK. Not perfect but at least we can afford 40 acres, it has seasons, a little snow and pasture. Summers are still too hot but shorter and call me weird but I love the thunderstorms- except when a tornado takes out part one of my buildings.

Dr. Bob called and the report stated that the gallibacterium that all chickens have must have gone awry in her system and she went septic which probably caused her heart to stop. He said this was a bizarre case. For the most part, the report states she was a very healthy gal. The report also stated that she was not ready to lay eggs yet. I pick up the report tomorrow so I can read it thoroughly.
So, in other words he has no idea what killed her.

I cannot convince my husband that we even have a wild cat. Ive seen it hanging around the coop three times now. He's such a cat lover he won't even let me think about trapping it to take to a shelter because he knows it will be euthanized. We never argue and we almost got into an argument about it.
That is one argument I don't think I'll ever win. And I used to be Queen Cat Trapper and Home Neutering Expert in OK. Look how far ive fallen. Now I can't even catch the stupid things.
