Poultry Guardian Taken Out By Copperhead

[centrarchid]

Episode is finished. She is 100% back into game patrolling as if nothing happened last night and early this morning. She seems to pick her way through vegetation just outside the outer perimeter hotwire. My guess is that's where snake was encountered. Weather is too cool and wet for snakes in general to be out and copperheads are already heading to winter hibernacula a couple miles away so to the south. Snakes thus will not be a major issue again until next April with the exception of things like garter snakes and ribbon snakes.
