Invite me over! I will catch 'em! Snakes are very hard to keep out...that isone reason they are everywhere and excel at their job. As long as you have openings you run the risk of snakes. Moth balls have anecdotle information that says they work...they do make a type of mesh that the snake will get caught in and then you can dispatch them.

My daughter wants to show goats and I am wanting to turn every pen we have into things for my chickens, DH will have to build 2 coops and a goat pen!! Right now I have the pens just no houses and I am bring home stuff this weekend that will need a house.

I understand Sooner - after I told my DBF, who built me this FANTABULOUS hen house, that I now need to expand the run, he said I should just move the chickens into my house and sleep in this...

I agree...very nice...
Now looking at that picture snakes can get in the door if open or threw the chain link..... Look like it in town as well....
My "house" is like that but free range... Door is open threw the day and shut at night. Last night NO snake when they went in snake with chicks in belly by 6am.... Top of my "house" is open like a run in shelter style. I thought this was good for air... Was I wrong ?

I dont need one at all... I just want one and the way my chicks die around here I just thought maybe I need to go another way... Sounds fun anyway. I was wanting to build one but never did...

first snake kill that I saw. I was going to get the clippers and snap off its head. I coulndt find the long handle ones so he went down to a shovel in a trash can... Last time he went for a ride but I guess he came back.. Lesson learn.
