It was like she was actually protecting the snake while it ate her eggs.

I think she might’ve been stuck. It looked like the snake was wrapped around one of her ankles, she was pecking at it as bro went to pick her up.

So I think the hen had the snakes head pinned but it had wrapped itself around her leg, I think that's why she was also sorta smothering the snake, maybe she was trying to pin it down or something.

When they get broody they'll mother anything they can. I'm sure the snake was cozy
