ducks and snakes

[D'Angelo N Va.]

I was told Muscovy ducks will attack snakes if they don't get out of the way quick enough...I am sure I will find out in time since I have recently released my 4 scovies on the yard....

If you want to get rid of the snakes, geese will help in that matter. I read in a poultry magazine where a family moved to Texas and they had snakes and then got a few geese, shortly after that, no more snakes. Just a thought.

The article said that her goose got bit by a poisonous snake but the goose survived. Not sure how. Here is another article that discusses how to deal with snakes.
