This morning I caught three hens attacking a 1-month-old kitten. The kitten seemed okay physically, just traumatized.
I've had chickens for 6 years and have never seen nor heard of this happening before. I know chickens will go after small animals such as mice or snakes, but a kitten is bigger...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
My husband grew up with a few chickens, but I didn't. We bought our first chicks almost two years ago. I've been learning a lot since then.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
Three grown hens and 16 chicks.
(3) What breeds...
Last month we ordered a variety pack of chicks and we can't figure out what breed this chick is. We are new to chickens, so if it is an obvious breed to you guys, I apologize for my ignorance. Still learning! Hopefully the pics attached are helpful.
