How cute you are! Look at my silky! They're so adorable! You guys are like little puppies! You guys are so cute! Hi! How are you? How are you? Good morning, Chickies! Hi! Hi! This is such sad news. Today, when we went to let the chickens out this morning, we found one of our silkeys. She had passed away. She was by the door. Her whole head and neck was wet. No sense at all. The rest of her was fluffy. We're pretty sure it was a snake that got in. If you see all this, it's all crusty like with a mucous. See how stuck it is? So sad. So basically, a snake would have gotten into our chicken coop last night. And would have probably killed the chicken first by strangling it and then tried to consume it and quint. So then they let go of it. This has happened a lot with other people where a snake gets in. This is a really good sign that you had a snake that killed your chicken. When the head is wet and the neck is wet, it's all crusty. There's lots of mucous on there. She's not that big of a chicken. She's almost six months old. She's a silky, which they stay smaller. They're very soft feathery. And all of our chickens have food and water. Our older chickens, they just ignore these silky chickens. They've done really well with them. So more than likely, it had nothing to do with another chicken. It definitely had to have been a snake. Probably a smaller snake. Because a smaller one, that's why they couldn't consume the chicken. Eating her. So we're very sad. This was a list of chickens. She is the one that loves silky. She's my oldest daughter. We have one at Silky's for years. She had one about eight years ago named Jazz. And Jazz had passed away. And it took a long time to find some silky babies. Her chicken was the first one to go from a snake. So this is another reality of having a homestead. There's going to be accidents and tragedies that are going to happen, unfortunately. So we're going to go look at the chicken coop. Obviously, we're going to try to repair a few areas that maybe this snake got into. It's really hard to know exactly what happened. The one hole that we found that a snake can get in is right there. Can you see daylight? Can I see daylight? Yes, I can. What's a chicken coop? Lots of chicken coop. Time to clean again, huh? Oh, now that's a big hole. I know. Where did this snake question is? Where is the snake? That's the question. Anyway, so that one needs to be repaired. And what else did we see? What was that other hole? Somewhere there was another hole. I don't think a snake's going to be in Rico's stall. Oh, yeah, they would. See that crack? I don't think a fast snake would fit through that crack. No, it would be a smaller one. And that's what we think happened. Somewhere they showed me a hole. It's weird. Oh, right there. Snake can get in there for sure. You have to ground. I know it is. So I think those are the only two spots. Because all of this, they can't really. We'll come over here, buddy. Bye.
