Red Belly black snake!

Yeah, frog sized ~ or do you mean your bigger chicks? I didn't think blacks could unhinge their jaws that much! Live & learn.

Oh no baby baby chicks as in like day olds

I'd say they must be pretty desperate. Are you really dry? Other food might be getting scarce.

We were when he went for the chick but now it’s all wet and he hasn’t gone for them since. He mush have been desperate... he put up with an attacking broody

I love snakes... But a Red Bellied Black snake is very venomous and if it’s being aggressive or in an area you need to go to service the chickens then you should do whatever it takes to remove it or have it removed safely.

Stay safe!

That's desperate. I don't like dealing with an aggressive broody...

Actually Red Bellies aren't too bad as our snakes go. A bite can make you pretty sick but deaths are rare. The Australian Museum says: For its size, the Red-Bellied Black Snake is probably the least dangerous elapid snake in Australia. Despite the number of bites received every year, very few human deaths have resulted (most death records date from early times and the snake's identity was often unconfirmed).

It's the browns. They are mean mongrels & you don't want to get bitten by one of them!

Yup or
The taipan

At least the taipans aren't plain mean ~ but provoked they are the quickest biter of them all. Multiple strikes within seconds. Nasty.
