Thank you for the suggestion for the snake hook. I really do not like to kill a critter that is helpful(hunts mice or rats), but my chickens' welfare comes first. Love my girls!!!
We had our first snake encounter with our guineas this morning. A big indigo had killed one and was digesting the second of a group of preteens. I had them in a dog crate getting introduced to a group of teens. Dear husband who would have loved to be a herpetologist snatched the bugger up and transported him 5 miles away. We live in a National forest so he can eat mice and rats until a hawk or owl comes to get him. Now, if DH had not been home, I could have benefitted from a snake hook. But if it was a rattler or copperhead, I would need to shoot it.
The incident had its upside. The guineas learned the enemy of my enemy is my friend and at last look were all laying down together without pecking or pestering anyone.
LOL he did the Snakes Alive show at Bush Gardens one summer. His first business was as Rattlesnake Mike- he would clear snakes out of houses in Florida and then use their skins as cowboy hat bands. That was back during the Urban Cowboy craze
