GRAPHIC PIC! Snake ate my hen. Need snake ID please.

Buffalo, WV(Zone 7a)

This hen was brooding, her eggs were hatching. She had four hatched one in the process and more eggs. I went to check on her and this is what I found :~( It's not a poisonous snake. Dh said it's not a Black snake. Our neighbor said King snake but I didn't know we had those in WV. It's belly is kind of a rosy color. It measured 5'4" Any ideas anyone? I now have 5 chicks and the rest of the eggs under a heat lamp. I don't know if more will hatch or not. Needless to say the snake is now dead but so is my hen. Thanks, Lana
