It was a young snake. But this chicken is lying still even though I gave it nutri drench ans blue kote on the bite. I don't think it could survive that?
 
Not likely. The younger the snake the less control they have over the dose they inject. An adult snake can actually give you a dry bite if they so choose. A healthy adult, albeit not a fun time, could possibly survive a copperhead bite without treatment. But I wouldn't think a chicken would stand a chance. Blue kote might do for a predator attack to avoid infection but it won't do any good against hemotoxins or neurotoxins.

I didn't think so, I'm not getting my hopes up. I'm so sad. Do snake repellents really work?? Anyone???

I would like to know what the symptoms are for this snake bite. I just wonder if any of my chickens have died of snake bites. I've lost a few chickens over the years that are unexplained. Just found them dead in the yard after looking healthy earlier in the day. Thanks. But, so sorry about your chicken. Hope she makes it.
