My first predator strike this year - one of my Ameraucanas was killed by a snake - her head and neck were smushed and bloody, looks like the snake got her up to her shoulders, and killed her, and then let her go when it just couldn't do any more. SOOO infuriating....pretty sure this is the six-foot black snake we have debated about killing. We hated to kill it, especially since up til now it hadn't caused much problem, but I'm guessing this was that snake. My poor pretty girl.
