When I went to let me girls out this morning I went to check the nest boxes as I always do...and found a gigantic poop! It was about the size of a pullet egg (though about a third longer) and after digging I found a couple more, smaller poos. At first I thought maybe one of my weird cats had decided it was a littler box when he was out in the yard (I have one very strange cat). Only on of my girls has started laying so far (she was a month or two older than the rest). Now I wonder if they have been laying, but the eggs have been eaten by a snake! I check the nest boxes at least twice a day...The girls free range all day in my yard though, so they may be laying in weird places (I do an "egg check" every afternoon around the yard in all the nooks and crannies). Has any one ever had this happen? It must be a big snake with poo that size (I had pet snakes years ago...so I've seen snake poo for sure-as well as looked online just now). Are snakes that active this time of year?? Help :C
