I recently rescued an extremely large worm which one of my chickens unearthed from a spot where I have been dumping water when I change out the chickens water. I thought it was a snake at first, but when I ran in to rescue it, it appeared to be a worm or maybe a salamander? Never seen a worm that big before, and the chickens were kind of afraid of it. Unfortunately, I didn't get a photo, or an extremely good look at it as I was concerned to get it to safety, and....I'm kind of squeamish when it comes to worms. I picked it up and placed it in the area of the yard which is shaded and overgrown with nettle. I live in Eugene, off of River Road which is a couple of blocks from the Willamette River. I am concerned about if it is either the Oregon Giant Earthworm or a salamander what I can do to keep my yard a "friendly" place for them to live (in spite of chickens.) Thank you.
