We'd seen snakes around our chickens so rarely it was an event until recently. Then within a few days there were 3 of them. I walked one about 100 yards away, one bit me and did not survive and the other got away. I don't mind sharing an egg once in a while but I suspect there are more where these came from, and neither the chickens nor my wife nor I like finding them in the nexting boxes. I'm going to build a few traps and see what I get.
Question: Does anybody have any real knowledge about how far away you have to move a rat snake to expect it to stay gone? I won't kill them if I don't have to and I can go 80-100 yards in woods easily enough but after that it's a lot more difficult.
