Yeah you should if that is all you can find but most snakes can last quite a long time without eating, it is common to do this I feed my larger monitors chicks sometimes, you should get them prekilled because they can do some serious damage to a snake.

They will eat birds but, it's not the best thing for them. The problem is if it imprints on that chick that's all it will want from now on. You don't need this headache. Ball pythons can go months without eating. Don't worry too much if you can't feed it right away. PLEASE just wait until you can get it a mouse!!

Snakes seem to become addicted to chickens rather easily. I would just put the snake on hold until you can get a mouse or rat. Chicks can become pretty expensive.

We used to feed ours small rats, that somehow seemed less cruel then a mouse (and defiantly don't do the fuzzy yellow chicken!) Some how the rats just seem nastier. You don't have to do it today, it won't starve by tomorrow.

Yes your ball could eat a baby chicken if it is big enough you should never feed your snake any thing bigger than they biggest part of your snake.
