Folks, this snake was not a huge bull snake, rattlesnake, or python. It was just a 3 foot long nonpoisonous rat snake and about an inch and a half in diameter. There was no way in hell he would ever be able to eat my chicken. That did not stop him from killing her, though. In fact, my neighbor believes it was the same snake he caught in his pigeon coop a few days earlier. The snake had swallowed a wooden egg and strangled one of the pigeons. My neighbor actually coaxed the wooden egg back out of the snake so it wouldn't die. In hindsight, it obviously should have been killed, but neither of us ever thought that such a small snake would go after even bigger prey than his pigeon. And, we both believed that having the occasional snake around and losing an egg every once in awhile was a fair price to pay for good rodent patrol.
