Thank you Daniel, you have answered my question, you however left out the planting of the tobacco plant around the farm. I understand they also serve as a repellant against snakes. Thanks for your presentation.
I just watched about 15 videos about how to get rid of or deter snakes, before I found this one. And this is the BEST one I've seen so far! Excellent work. I'm looking forward to watching all your other videos. Have An Excellent Day & Farm Up! :)
Good Doctor, for one, snakes DO NOT burrow. Even the best "burrowers" in the snake kingdom, can actually burrow only a few inches, that too, only when the soil is really loose and sandy. Otherwise, snakes find abandoned dens, burrows of other creatures, and holes and crevices and make them home - plus most snakes are non venomous. Coming from someone who has kept poultry, chicken and geese, for over 30 years, and having dealt with cobras, rat snakes and common kraits, I can tell you that, having a snake or two around, is actually, a blessing in disguise! If your hen houses are effectively snake proof, you don't worry about losing eggs and birds. And snakes? They are excellent vermin controllers. Rodents are always a huge problem where poultry is kept, eating expensive feed, and also, carrying diseases and spreading infections by defecating in feeding and water bowls. Snakes reduce that problem to a very large extent. Only, identify the snakes in your area, know what you are dealing with. Be watchful while working on the farm, and most snakes won't bother you, I know by experience. But, if you really want to get rid of snakes, mix some Peppermint Oil with water in a garden spray, shake the contents well, and spray. Snakes hate peppermint. Eucalyptus oil also helps. Also, plant some Dracaena Trifasciata, commonly known as snake plants. They resemble a hooded cobra, when they sway in the wind and they act as an excellent deterrent to other snakes, as most cobras will eat other snakes too.
You answered to my question about how to keep snakes away from a farm. I am getting ready to start a goat farm. And the snakes are one of my worries. Thank you for your advice.
I am going start poultry farm...so I am learning and trying to know all details before start start the farm....this guy helping me to know much details about poultry 😊😊😊😁
RED gardens, a RUclips channel, said he kept rats out of his compost by encouraging them to enter and nest in certain attractive areas, then collecting the little pink babies and doing away with them. He said it’s important to keep track of the rat reproductive cycle and schedule this for best efficiency. You could probably feed the pinkies to the chickens.
Doc ur from Uganda and you have not talked of our traditional way of chasing snakes of growing tobacco(taaba) around or near the chicken house. But all in all thank you very much for teaching us.
Spray kerosine around the hubs.... they turn around just by smelling it from feet away, because once kerosine gets into their snake skins .. is like hell to them... so spray kerosine around, once they smell it, they will craw away and never come... try it.
Cats are excellent for keeping snakes away and they will even kill snakes as well. If you have any difficulty believing this just go to youtube for verification.
Am a pastor just retired 3 months ago. I have made up my mind to in any way to start a small poultry house. I am really inspired and motivated. Thank you. God bless you as you bless others like me!
Besides those ideas to keep snakes away, is also keep growing some tobacco plants around your farm in different areas ,corners ,nearby the farm house, inevitable entrances also keeps such away and may not affect the poultry
Strong smelling plants like tobacco, basil, lemon grass, mint etc are good at repelling snakes and I don't know how they affect chicken. Its what I use at my farm
Awesome video. Regarding the bushes a pig or two will keep the bushes away! But you will need to control their movement by containing them with a fenced area and with the fenced area have a electric wire or they might uproot the good plants too. You can then move the fenced area with the pigs in it from place to place to control the bushes in your yard.
To make geeze to stay in their house is quite simple, just put them in the house and tie them up for some days feed them there morning and evening, by doing so they're going to get used to in the area and where they sleep and then you can now untied them
@@joycecooper498 I don't know of a better plant but will rather go with good perimeter fencing or keep things that attracts snakes away. I will be open to methods used by others that made those plant worked for them.
Make sure then you can show us videos of your success after DROPPING out of SCHOOL!!!Wish you the best..... you can do it.... you can become a famous chicken farmer!!!!!Love from Kenya.
Thanks for the information, l once had a snake on my farm and it used to eat my eggs and also kill my birds but lately, l got the advice of tricking it with a boiled egg. l think it died because l no longer experience thesame
I understand that geese are a good deterrent. Their poop on its own apparently keeps snakes away. Snake repellants do not work. Keep a clean yard, minimise rats and you'll be ok.
I also have just bought turkeys (local breeds) as i discover they feed on snkes too. I just got about 4 and i plan to buy more. Its a good biological control for snakes especially baby snakess that can pass through anything. I've lots of rocks on my farm and crevices where they could also hide.
You have a nice video brother... Im from philippines... Ive notice in your egg laying hen set is free range. . Question... How do you know which hen is not producing egg which is not performing well..
I usually get to see snakes in my farm once a while, we used some repellent which kept them away but they still show they want to. My people in Nigeria has a thing about Cats. Well done namesake.
OMG 😱 I forgot about the snakes!! I woke up once back home whilst I was napping in a thatched house to a snake hanging on the roof just about to fall down on me!!! 😮😮❤ I love you cold slithering creature. Don’t bite me mkay.
In America they have high frequency devices that keep snakes away and there is a dog breed in Australia called the Australian terrier that was bred to keep snakes away. I have a friend who had one and explained to me that they let the dogs out In the morning and they would find kill and eat the snakes and would only come home at night for a meal.
Doc we have geese (two) in our farm. They're always outside during the day, never indoor. It was a problem for us at first until we found out they love their privacy, so we decided to demarcate part of the broiler house and they started going in. The female is nesting now tho.
DOC, GEESE are ground nesting poultry, i have never seen any geese climb into a coup or use nest boxes like chickens do. they lay their eggs on the ground or floor of a coup / house like yours. we have snakes around here also! if you can keep rats, mice, and other rodents away then snakes wont be to much of a problem.. great video!!
Moth balls will take care of snakes and are safe. Won’t harm other creatures. Cheap too. No more snakes 🐍. Put moth balls down every quarter where you have a snake problem.
I love this guy 🥰🥰🥰🐓🐓🐓 I hate snakes 🐍😬😬☠️ Snakes like to hide under rocks and eat rats! I lived in Florida. Snakes can climb up that wall 😢 I used snake repellent and trapped snakes inside my yard 😂😂😂😂
Those powder and spray to keep snakes away, how safe are these with vegetables etc. I dont want to use them for snakes and poison my vegetables in the farm. Please advise
The best way to keep the geese very easy make them sleep in the house for amonth....., Get used to the house atmosphere,after amonth tie them on arope, close to two weeks .... Out side ard the door , allow them move as u observe slowly they get used, to chase away snakes the best way is to grow tobbacco ard the house .... Tobbacco smell Chase's them away
Dr. Daniel, I came across your video today. It's great but there's too much responsibility work going on at the Farm. Also, where is this Farm located? Thank you.

Mothballs are REALLY good at keeping them away as well. I throw them all around on my front and back yard, I hate the smell but it does the job!
Mothballs are not good where children play around.
What are Mothbals?

The Ugandan conservatory said that you should plant snake plants and tobacco plants around the perimeter edges of your land in order to repell
snakes
But it is not dependable method, tried it in the past.
Do you know ow a better plant?
@@joycecooper498 I don't know of a better plant but will rather go with good perimeter fencing or keep things that attracts snakes away. I will be open to methods used by others that made those plant worked for them.
Try Lemon grass plants

Geese can be a pain but you can train them to go in on signal just need to be patient training. Peafowl are also decent snake / lizard killers.
What are peafowls?

Hello Farmup. I also want to sell my old layers. Can you advice me on how I can sell it please
Very good
Geese also attack snakes.
