For a while now, I've not been getting enough eggs. Down from 11-12 average to 7-8. And, sometimes I'd come in at 10:00 AM, get 7 or 8, but sometimes none. Then the eggs I WAS getting were covered with egg yolk. Maybe I had an egg eating chicken, but I never caught one. Just a few minutes ago, I made my afternoon check-in on the chickens, only 3 sticky eggs, only 7 for the day. I thought to look behind the eggbox, and there he was. Fat as could be, and didn't even care that I was looking mean at him.
A few seconds later, I could telepath his last thought.." Holy catfish, that old fart can move fast." Here he is, all kinked up behind the chicken coop
And here he is, couple minutes later, uhh, hanging around by the shed door. When he finishes twitching, he'll be 6 ft long.
Normally I relocate black snakes, but this one has made a home, inside my chicken coop, behind the egg box. I knew he was a big one, and looked 6 ft long while hiding. Initially I thought there might be 2, there was so much snake around.
BUT...I'm over 6 ft, too. And although I've got a few years on the snake, I'm really healthy, and I was figuring it would only be seconds til he wasn't particularly healthy....
Even snake ought to leave me alone, dammit.
