And lose the cat.
Cats and dogs don't mix with chickens very well.

Nice!! If I had to choose between my animals, I'd keep the cats and get rid of the rest....

x2 I've had a couple of barn cats who spent most of their time sunning themselves in the open doorway of my walk-in coop before I quit using it; never a problem. Never had chicks running around, though.

This is the only time I've photographed the cat with any of the chickens, but this cat is an exceptional hunter. I've seen her take countless birds out of the bird feeder, an excellent mouser, and she's even caught a few squirrels. She'll stroll through the middle of the flock and she nor the birds pay much attention to each other. I know better than to allow her anywhere near a small chick, because it wouldn't end well for the chick. Same thing goes for the dogs...

CC I have a question on honey bees. In California there's a shrub/tree (weed tree) called California Buckeye the pollen of which is supposed to be poisonous to the bees. Do you know anyway around this problem. I have wanted to do hives here but didn't want to kill bees. Apparently it keeps the bees from flying.

I have red that some hybrid bees have some resistant to the poison

I think if it isn't the predominant source of pollen it may not be a problem.
You may want to look through this PDF. It contains a bunch of information on the CA buckeye.

Quote: I think the only reason my cat hasn't gone for the chicks is he's old and arthritic and loves the heat coming from the brooders.He'd probably crawl in there and sleep with them if he could jump better.

You should put the cat in with the chicks to see how it reacts. If all goes well, maybe put a door for it to go in and out. It's not mine, but you might get a pic or two like this...

Hiding from it is futile! 

Can you stop bugging me? I have had "CALL DUCKS" running through my head all day! I know you want me to get ducks, but filling my head upnwith ducks so much I can't think is a bit much!

Awesome!! news!! I actually use a layer of wax paper and then two layers of papertowels over it so I can add a boost of humidity.


UPDATE?  @angelikimarie

X3. The neighborhood cat is great with the chickens, won't even look twice at the bantams. Same with one of the dogs that comes over.... ONLY ONE though; the rest are killers!

So how did the rescue go? Looks like you pulled him BACK, rather than the rest of the way through?

I pulled him back but we both had to drive back through as there was no where else to turn around.....we made it back through again.....which is good as I couldn't have walked out from there.....we were way back in the middle of nowhere
