Disappearing Eggs

[southernthangz]

Okay yall when you read this you will see I am a newbie. I have had my Americuanas since November. I have one that loves to sit. Well I don't have an incubator yet, so I have some cochin eggs that I am letting her sit. It's now been 10 days. When I went out yesterday, one was broke and two were missing. They are in a secure hen house, not snake proof. Today I go out to check on them and another one is gone. I am here during the day check on them regularly.Is it possible I have a chicken snake getting in at night, and would she get off the nest to let the snake in then when he's gone return to sitting. The only other answer is I have some cannibal chickens. Help!! I need some clue to what toi do....Thx.....

Yes, its very possible its a snake. Can you move her to a segregated area surrounded by 1/2" hardware cloth that a snake wouldn't be able to fit through?
