What should I do?  It’s like an episode from Animal Planet: Snakes.

I lost a pullet this weekend to a snake.  It was a big, black snake. One of two I saw mating in a nesting box the other weekend

I saw two different snakes just now.  Not black but brownish with black splotches. One was huge.  I’d swear it went on forever, but it was probably only 3 (maybe touching 4) feet long. The other was much smaller.  Two, maybe close to 3, feet long.

Part of me wants to let the snakes eat the chickens, because… well… snakes are cool.  I’d be bothered less by it if I didn’t know the chickens so well.
