I have seen the same feral cat in my neighbors' yards over the past several weeks. It watches us and if we come within 25 feet it bails, so I highly doubt it belongs to anyone. Yesterday when my husband went out to close the chickens in for the night, he said this cat was hanging out in the...

I have 5 hens. RIR, white leghorn, minorca, buff orpington, and speckled sussex. 4 are about 1- 1.5 years old and the RIR is one that I rescued as a stray last summer (she's what got me into this! ;) - no idea how old she is but she's older than the others (I'm thinking maybe 2.5 or 3 years...
