Early this morning our chickens began to alert to some kind of danger.  My wife and I went out to check.  We thought it was another hawk alert but everything seemed OK there.  Then my wife looked into the chicken nest boxes and saw this four-foot long snake curled up in one of the nest boxes, looking for an egg to eat!  I caught it and released it into a nearly field.  It looks like an Eastern Ratsnake.  Do you agree?  
From now on I had better check the nest boxes each morning!
