LOL good to know! My girls ate their first snake yesterday - YAY GIRLS! They tore it into pieces devouring it. It was only 10-12 inches long.I've used those plastic eggs for a long time. I put some chat in mine and glued or taped the seam so they don't come apart and they did good. I don't think the snake that ate them was able to digest them though.
I can do that. Thanks you!Just make sure they are weighted (not empty) so they won't bounce around too much, and fix the seam so they won't pop open and they will be fine.
Good for those girls! They tackle the small snakes and sometimes gang up on them, It's the big ones that are the problem. My girls attacked one about 12-14 inches long, one had it and it wrapped around her neck , several others were chasing her and pecking the snake like crazy, I got her caught and removed the snake. I was afraid it might strangle her. The 5 ft black snake that ate the eggs, didn't even bother the hens, but they didn't bother it either, just the small snakes they would go after. Good luck to you and your girls.
