Few things deter a snake that has taken residence in a chicken coop. Very few snakes actually bother chickens. Most snakes hang about chicken coops to catch the rodents that also live there feeding off the grain. Identify the snake if you can and allow it to stay, it will eat all the mice and move on.

Is it bad for chickens to eat snakes?

No, it is not bad for chickens to eat snakes; they are actually a good source of protein and nutrients for chickens. In the spring and summer, you may notice that your backyard hens occasionally find and eat small snakes, such as black snakes, in the garden and yard. These are typically young snakes that have recently hatched and therefore are small and tender enough for consumption by chickens. At first it may look as though a hen has found a very large worm, but upon closer inspection you can verify that it is indeed a snake she is eating.
