Wife talked me into killing a rat snake in the coop while wearing only rubber boots & a shovel.

I would hate to have seen that video.

I knew I wasn't imagining things:

The 4 you see at first are Black Osterlorps. Very prolific layers some up to an egg a day. Those four are very young and have only just started laying. The red one at the end that flew was either a RIR or a red leghorn I'm not sure which. She is my oldest and has actually quit laying recently. I also have a Plymouth barred rock which is almost as old as the red one and has just quit laying. Not sure if it's age or something else, both are about 3 years old so I'm thinking age. I have an older black osterlorp that is really my only reliable layer at the moment. Really hoping the young ones start laying more very soon or I'm gonna have to buy some eggs :cry11:
