I had a black runner slithering around my property but was told they are not a threat to full grown chickens.  Sadly, that turned out not to be the case.  We lost Little Chickie (Rhode Island Red) and Spotty (Barred Rock) out of my large coop and our Black Orpington out of the chicken tractor even though it has been reinforced with a 1" x 2" wire.  Needless to say, the next time he made himself visible, he was killed.  It's heartbreaking to lose one of our little feathered friends.  Just wanted to let everyone know to be on the lookout for snakes as well, even non-poisonous. 

How did it get in? And out?

Lol They're very easy to "raise" in our area. I actually raise mealworms (my birds' favorite treat) and the first go round the screen lifted at one edge of the container and black soldier flies took the opportunity to lay eggs in with the mealworms. The black soldier fly larvae colonized the bottom half of the container and the mealworm colony remained in the top half. They cohabitate wonderfully and the birds love them both.

I have read that one shouldn't let chickens eat larvae that has grown in chicken poop, but I don't see any way to prevent it completely. I put the poop in the compost and the flies find it there. The chickens scratch through the compost and eat the larvae. I haven't had any problems thus far.

Thanks Mzstre. They sure do love them.

Just want to share this with y'all.
Upside down orange biscuits. Mix same part orange juice as sugar. I do one cup sugar one cup orange juice, wisk on stove till sugar melts. Pour most not all in a pan. Save some to pour on top after done. Place biscuits on top then bake regular time. When done take out and flip upside down and cover with powdered sugar..

Well my suspicions are confirmed. Our ants here are crazy ants. I looked into it after you guys mentioned it.
