All that about snakes may be true, but the snakes in my area are called RATTLERS. You bring your stick and I will bring my 2 friends (Smith & wesson). We do have some snake catchers here, but at $125 each I can buy a lot of shells for that price. Given I may kill 5 or 6 per year. One year I killed 45. Besides, my animals, I have my grand children and neighborhood kids running all over the place. I will bury a snake long before I bury a child, or one of my animals.

I would freak out too if I ever saw a snake(s) like that!

I agree we shouldn't just go out and kill snakes for the heck of it but it looks like they have found your place to have an easy meal. Unfortunately they will keep coming back and when they have young ones the problem could get bigger. You could contact the Humane Society as well and they might have some suggestions for you to.

Good luck and make sure you let us know how this ends up. Fingers are crossed for your chickens!

umm. mothballs work good like the post wayyyyyy above me.

Mothballs. Buy the biggest box you can buy and sprinkle them around the outside of any building that you want to protect.

I knew about the mothballs BUT...
won't the chickens and ducks eat them?

People and snakes are not the same thing. Love snakes all you want but don't compare them to people.
