I usually don't like killing snakes but I have had 3 this week in the hen house. Two I relocated but today I had enough so this one had to go after the second day in a row no eggs. So I get to looking and it is hiding in the tree that has limbs hanging over the hen house. Had the same thing happen a couple years ago killed 3 on the same day but I like the shade for the chickens. They hide in the tree slither down into the hen house eat all they can and slither back up. Well this one want do it again.
