Is this snake in my coop harmful

[BigBlueHen53]

Google Image says it's a rattlesnake. Get rid of it but be careful!

Also just an FYI for y'all. If something is POISONOUS it means it will make you sick if you eat it. Some snakes are VENOMOUS which means they can make you sick (or kill you) if they bite you (inject poison into you with their fangs).

Sorry, I'm a little late to the party. Guess y'all can ignore me.

That people show up late and say dumb stuff like I just did? Sorry about that.

Maybe they meant the whole poisonous vs venomous thing? People mixing them up drives me crazy too

Doesn't drive me crazy. Just trying to be helpful. And I was concerned in case it was a rattler.

No no, the difference between poisonous and venomous!

And if a snake was in my coop I’d be in a different state by sundown, chickens would be on their own!

Bah. I grabbed one of those black rat snakes with my hand, threw it into an empty feed sack, rolled the top down so it couldn't escape, and then ... took steps to ensure it wouldn't be stealing eggs from my coop ever again.
