Yes they would, I don't have a cat so didn't think of that. :)

I use empty tuna cans, one in chicken house for oystershell, screwed onto wall 2x4 about 8 inches up from floor. Use 2 short wood screws, predill 2 holes in can, one above the other, about 1/2 inch apart. The 2 screws will keep the hens from turning the can and spilling. Do same thing for grit...

Hoover's hatchery is (according to Google) is located in Rudd, Iowa

Cackle is in Lebanon, MO. Murray McMurray is in Iowa.

I haven't decided if I will go with Cackle or Murray McMurray.

I have been raising chickens for about 22 years. Have 5 hens, 2 production reds (bullies) and 3 mixed breed banties. Oldest is probably around 10 years old, hasn't laid in years, but I will keep till she dies. I have a love hate relationship with them lol. Other hobby is sewing. I was a member...
