After reading the predator posts, I'm not sure how you Alabamaians and Lousianians deal with the snakes, YIKIES that is some scary critters you have down there, and guess what was in my coop yesterday??? Yup a gartersnake, about 18 inches long, this is huge for me...... so I hurried up and put the chickens in the coop and opened the run up so hopefully they will roust him out and that will be the end of a snake for me.... UUUGGGHHHH have I mentioned lately that I LOVE THIS FORUM???
