That was what i was wondering lol. alot of eggs, and wondering if you had kept them picked daily if he would have stayed around.... I have 4 hens and not had a snake "yet" but they are sure to come!

And use a flashlight to gather eggs.

When I was a kid, I went in a barn in fading daylight and was gathering eggs when I reached in a dark nest and grabbed something soft and leathery.

Let go of it real fast and ran like hell to get a light and a weapon. Came back and found nothing in the nest but a couple of eggs. I grabbed one and almost broke my arm getting it out.

It was my first experience with a soft shell egg. It was like leather instead of a hard shell. Freaked me out.
