black racer are terrified of chickens, they dont have any defense or method of killing, even though their name means constriction they are not constrictors like rat snakes, so they are big time spooks and very fast and take off from anything that is bigger than a sparrow.

Probably just a rat snake. Google black rat snake; there are color variations. These snakes are known for eating poisonous snakes, and chicken eggs. Good to have around the barn for rodents.
