Yesterday morning I came up with one teenage chicken short when I went out to feed. I found the poor thing 3/4 slimed (and dead) after an attempted swallow by a snake who thought he/she could eat said teenage chicken, and then changed its mind when it realized said teenage chicken was too big. Snake’s eyes were bigger than his/her mouth.
So frustrating (not to mention sad
)
)I’m giving something new a try in the coop. Last night I sprinkled cinnamon bark oil on all the roosting areas (smelled amazing btw).
No casualties noted this morning…. so I’m just gonna continue this practice for awhile until said teenage chickens are bigger.
Has anyone else used cinnamon oil successfully for this endeavor?
