Edit this is the snake I was referring to

That's Drymarchon couperi Might be the right one..
Or this one--South Texas and Northern Mexico have their own species
Drymarchon melanurus erebennus

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drymarchon_melanurus_erebennus

and as an aside, one can always spot furriners in South Texas. They can't pass the "Re-fu-gee-o" test.

A hauntingly beautiful song, and close to being my favorite

@greybeard that's the guy! Beautiful snake, eerily large and powerful.

Moving! You're off to an adventure in the story of life! Will you be selling your present place? Rent it out? Where ever you move to, I hope you get good neighbors. Can't wait to hear more!

We don't want to lose this place. We've got so much put into it. That and right now there's a lot of homes in our area for sale that have been on the market looooong time. Not a good time to be aa seller around here.

Chicks went to the outdoor brooder this morning. They're quite enjoying it. We're going to keep all hens and eat all roosters out of this group. Maybe later add roosters for breeding. I just want colorful chickens and eggs.

I don't blame you for keeping the place, you never know, you might transfer back. What about renting it out? Hint-sign a lease. With a lease, if they break any of the listed conditions or don't pay the rent, you can evict them. If you just rent it, it can take months to get them out.

I like your idea of eating all the roosters. We found a dead Delaware in the pen this afternoon and we think it was from the fat butted Rhode Island Red trying to breed her to death. He is way to big and I don't think he is going to last long.

It may be different in TX but it takes months to get them out with a lease in NC

If I missed this I apologize but you said John Ian graduating?
What his field ?

We got mostly straight run birds so we have plenty of extra roosters to eat! That is quite the colorful batch of chicks!
