It must've been a Texas Rat Snake. I've seen a few around the barn, and we don't have too many rodents but a few here and there. I've moved them out of the barn before and we also had one steal one of the girl's fake eggs months ago. Well...I came into the coop this morning and our smallest silkie (Lil' Blackie-- about 3 months old) was lifeless on the ground. Her head was all wet and distended but there was no other evidence. It really pissed me off to see her dead like that without being eaten. I already hate snakes and now this...I worry it will come back for the other 3 Silkies tonight. I hope that since it wasn't successful it wont be back? I have to put up a lot more mesh to secure their coop because this stupid snake goes all the way into the rafters then comes down wherever it wants. I already have a whole stall of the barn with hardware mesh but the mesh needs to be extended all the way up to the ceiling in some areas to block snakes.
Anyway, just had to vent. F U SNAKE
