Pretty!
A lady who was buying fish while I was getting crickets at Petsmart on Saturday said that a black rat snake had eaten her peacock chicks. I had to sympathize with her decision to kill the snake, as expensive as she said those chicks were!
I hope she gets some 1/2” x 1/2” hardware cloth for the next coop she builds.
If a snake can get its head through a hole, the rest of it will fit and there’s bound to be more snakes around.
You can’t go killing them all.
The neighbor raised a whole bunch of quail chicks for my dad and was surprised when coons bit their feet off from below and hawks dragged them out from the sides because he used 1” x 3” wire.
He griped to me about them and all I could think was “duh”.
