My "spade" came! The blade is so sharp it cut the paper! I feel much safer now carrying this tool, one blow and a snake head is gone.

My latest two chicks. Icelandics.

Ivory



Totally non-cooperative for photos!



The dark chick had totally splayed legs bilaterally when it hatched yesterday. I put hobbles on it right away. I took them off this morning and the legs seem fine. The chick is running all over the place.

Be careful!

What that shovel could do to a foot...

That shovel looks a bit short handled to deal with a snake who can almost jump its length. Be carefull. Nice style.

Thank you all for the advice. The shovel comes with a sheath that has a sturdy belt strap and loop. And it also supposedly throws well.
The long handled Kukri Machete was out of stock, so I settled for this piece. The handle has a little knob at the end that gives a good grip. IMO, it looks less conspicuous than a knife.
The paths to the chickens are all cleared, but there are gopher holes everywhere and I am certain snakes use them. Cannot wait for snake season to be over
