Get yourself some plastic multipurpose net from Lowes @ $19.95 for a 50' roll and just zip tie around the perimeter of the chicken yard. Cut the zips when you have to get in and then replace when you exit. Cheap enough solution. This will kill the poisonous snakes that are eating your chicken eggs. The downside is that it also kills the beneficials as well - the ones that eat rats and other rodents. Trade off I guess. Most snake bites occur when a human is attempting to kill them so that's why the plastic netting works so well with copperheads and rattlers because they are dead by the time you find them to remove them.

That looks very interesting, but how do safely get rid of a poisonous snake?
We have lot's of rattlers out here and I'd hate to have to open the cage
before being able to kill it. Copperheads as well. I can't imagine
shooting it in the cage as I would think you'd just end up with a minnow
trap full of bullet holes.
