Last night, my disabled chicken, Roma, who could not walk, was strangled to death and eaten by a big carpet python. She was 4 months old, and the sweetest chicken I had ever laid eyes on. Even though she was young, she kept safe my other chicks, who were only around 2 months old. I heard her scream at 1am and ran out of bed to check on them. The other little ones were gathered a little away from her, not sure what was happening. I got my parents but was told she was already gone, so while it was busy, I ran into the coop and grabbed the little ones and put them inside. All 24/7 pest control services in our area werenāt responding, so I was told there was nothing we could do until morning. And in the morning, there was nothing left of her. We called a snake catcher and he also gave us a lot of tips to help further fortify our coop. The young ones will be sleeping with me until better protection has been added. Roma was a beautiful chicken, and to try and better myself from this, I have to ask.
Is there anything I could have done in that moment to save her?
