We call them chicken snakes but they are a varity of texas rat snake, they come in many colors but these get the biggest around my place with the exception of the buttermilk racer, those never get near the safe zone, but i have caught them in the ducks nest out by the back pond before, very pretty snake.

This one has been in the barn for a very long time and the dogs have been after her, she couldn't resist those peahen eggs out in the open and took her chance and lost i guess.

So, if my hen hatched eggs like 20 days ago, can she start laying again if I took the peas away?

If I were you I think I would get that mirror out of there asap. On 5/18 another member posted about their male attacking a mirror that was in his pen with him, I don't remember all the details, but I believe he had smashed the mirror and cut his legs all up in the process. Some of my males are not allowed to free range during breeding season because they will attack their reflections in my glass patio doors, thinking it is a rival male they are looking at. He is a beautiful bird and it is a cute picture, but please be careful.
