you just better be careful reaching in there like that. Snakes can get in.See what you started ! Rose Marie is afraid of snakes ..LOL
Never even seen a snake near the hen house ...actually I havent seen a snake at all this year ..maybe the chickens took care of that
to get to our nesting boxes the snake would have to .
go through the fence ...jump up on the upsidedown pedestal pot ...climb up the steep ramp ..walk / slither on the floor .... hop into the nesting boxes
Our nesting boxes are in our old 4 x 4 foot coop .. We raised it up for more room in the run . So the ramp was too short to touch the ground .They roost in the enclosed run .
We will winterize it more when it gets colder .
old coop/ nesting house is on the right , Middlle door is the big girls coop / run , Left door is the babies ( 4 months ) coop / run
inside big girls coop / run
inside babies coop / run..Young Hens as they mature will go into the big girls run .. roosters to the freezer
inside the henhouse....Lucky trying to teach the girls to go broody ..see the ramp..about 3 foot off the ground
the nest boxes
