    are all banties "scaredy birds" or are mine *special*?

    Cats and chickens?

    We too have chickens and cats. Never a problem. One tomcat of mine sleeps in the henhouse with the hens and at times has been closed in overnite!! From what Ive heard, chickens will chase and squak after a cat if it feels threatened.
