While hoeing my garden one morning I came across a big rattlesnake. When I attempted to cut his head off with the hoe he bit the hoe handle. The hickory handle swelled up so big I decided to take it to the sawmill and saw it up into lumber.

A neighbor purchased this lumber from me and built a chicken house. Problem is.............when the swelling went down, it smothered 5,000 chickens.

Who is liable? Me, the snake, the sawmill operator? Please advise.
 
Not being a lawyer, but having watched a lot of Judge Judy and the People's Court, I would say you are liable due to negligence because you failed to take the snake bitten hoe to the emergency room for a shot or some other treatment that would take the infection and swelling out of the handle thus casing the chain of events that followed.

Since the "ambulance driver" was actually a trucker with a 50 foot trailer, I might find an angle to pass the negligence to him.
 
no it's all on you
shouldn't have been covorting with a garden HOE in the first
place :P
 
Liability would fall to the builder because he did not allow for srinkage. KFC would still buy those chickens.
