Snakes too are not smiling. They are looking for what to eat. This one entered my backyard chicken cage and claim the lives of 4 birds just like that!. It's so sad considering the wasted effort and resources. However, I am very happy because I was able to kill it.
Let's up our biosecurity measures if you rear birds at home.

Shallom!

Cook it and feed to other chickens slowly to recover what it stole from you.

There's no need to cook it. Just leave it in their cage and they'll finish it. Chickens wey no get joy 😹😹

Always use wire net to cover your cage because of predators especially snakes.

Try to employ the services of a farm dog or introduce a mongoose to your farm.

Mongoose will kill anything including the chickens

Those of you saying he should do pepper soup with it, is it every snake that’s edible? And come to think of it, it’s been long we read anything about snakes on the front page.

The chicken will be in cages. Dogs are better as they can alert with barks
