Hi...looking for some advice. About 5 days ago I opened the upper part of my coop and a copperhead snake was in it. He was right at the top of the ramp where my hen goes up to her nesting box. She has been using it to lay for about 8 months but since that day she will not go up into the upper area. She has started laying her eggs on the ground in other areas of the outer coop. Any hints on how I can get her to go back up? I had opened it up so that she could see me from the bottom of ramp and although she always comes to me and appears to trust me, she will not go back up in. Any suggestions greatly appreciated! I have two other young hens that have not started laying yet and I'm counting on her setting the example of where to lay, so a little concerned to get them all on track.
