Well just cause you haven't seen them I wouldn't ride them off, they live everywhere including large cities. and big foxes we have them too. I have 4 dogs that keep most preds away during the daylight hours but at night everyone is locked up. 52 acres Oh my a dream come true. Rat snakes don't bother the poultry? We have blk snakes 6' long and under living here and we are constantly on alert to make sure they don't eat eggs or one of our newly hatched chicks or ducklings. We like having them around as long as they keep the rodents under control and eat an egg occassionaly but not our baby animals.
