Today I was doing the usual coop check and noticed a very large cottonmouth snake half way in my bantam chicken coop. I covered the outside of my coop with black mesh incase this ever happened because there are a lot of cottonmouths where I live. I quickly let my chicks out and placed them in a safe area for the night. I thought the snake was tangled in the black mesh but when I went back to check it was gone. I am worried about my tiny chickens being around such a large snake. What should I do to keep cottonmouths away from my coop? Will this snake come back again or will it move on. I noticed it didn’t eat any of the eggs and all the chickens were safe. I’ve seen cottonmouths in my yard before but never this large and I worry for all my small animals. Any advice on how to keep them in check would be appreciated. Thank you!
