Sorry about your chicken. Poor thing. I hope your OK.
thank you for your replies, i wrote the above in respect for the chook, the chinese say that if you remember a persons name (or chook !) that they live on forever.
she was named after the artist ’ Matisse '.

still looking for the baby snake nest…
Eastern brown must be a mean one, we have the western diamondback over here in Arizona.
the eastern browns are very aggressive and will chase you, we have a red belly black snake which we let come into the garden and it is quite docile , they don’t have the best eye sight.
i like snakes they are very beautiful except when they kill our chickens !.

Poor chickens, poor snakes, poor people.
At times I feel very rich.
do you kill the brown snakes when you find them? as they are very dangerous…
be very careful… wear long pants and boots…
i heard it is hotter than hell over there right now…
hugs

if the brown snakes come into the garden and stay we have to kill them , if they bite you will be dead in an hour or less .
i live on top of a mountain range so the temperature is good but down on the plains, where i used to live, it is up past the 40 degrees.

I am sorry to here of your loss. When I was a kid, I had pet chickens and I loved them.
