Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

If I could photoshop, I would put my rooster “Jaffar “ on the big chair in the Oval Office of the Whitehouse And have him make speeches. “Peace on earth, and fresh eggs, for all mankind!”

Never thought of relocation but I will contact Tx Parks n Wildlife and ask for advice.

No way you could relocate them somewhere safely or legally? Poor cottonmouths get such a bad rap. (I don’t think it was this thread, but could be wrong) it’s likely mating season for them, timber rattlesnakes are about this time of year, of course a lot depends on the weather… just like my goslings being over a month and a half later than usual here, such crazy weather patterns last year.

Can't remember which thread we were discussing snakes on but Sunday afternoon I killed another venomous snake. This one was in my backyard a few meters from Red's coop. Duke almost stepped on it!. That's 2 cottonmouths within a few days and I saw others on the back side of our pond.

You are brave. Poisonous snakes are so dangerous. I’m glad you didn’t get bit. All I know about vipers, is what I watched on YouTube videos.

More a Prince though I would say a King...

Yes I wouldn't want to try taking on a snake, we only have one poisonous variety here, Mississauga rattler which is a threatened species.

I don't think that there are any big snakes here that would be dangerous to chickens though. It's more racoons I have nightmares about.

Just checked my barn cams and I guess I didn't put a snap on the stall latch, as a result Truly has been having a grand time roaming the barn.

This is a situation I worry about when the chickies are running around the barn when the horses are inside, I worry my wee Silkies could be stepped on, they are not the fastest moving of Chickies and can't fly worth doodoo to get out of the way...

Well that's scary. Is that normal for this time of year?
