Hi everyone,
I am new to these boards. I have been raising chickens successfully since January and having tons of fun. I have been anxiously waiting because on saturday, I am supposed to have 11 eggs hatch. I have a cochin that has been sitting on my Rhode Island Red Eggs for me. This morning, we had a little "early bird." I was so happy to see her! So adorable! But then I was shocked to see that ALL THE OTHER EGGS ARE GONE! I saw them there a few days ago. I can't always see them everyday because she is always on the eggs when I would go out to the chicken coop. My question is, can a chicken snake eat 10 eggs??? Or is it more likely this was theft? I know that no one knows for sure, I am just trying to make sense of it all because I am just so devastated. And that one little chick looks so sweet and all alone with no siblings. I will send a picture if anyone is interested in seeing my lone peep. I actually started looking everywhere for the eggs as if something moved them. I know that's ridiculous. Any advice about chicken snakes would be great! Thanks for reading.
