Hello I have ? but here is some back ground
* I live Henderson/Las Vegas Nevada (big city)
* I have 4 chickens 7 months almost 8 months old
* they have a 8foot by 4 foot coop about 5 foot high made of wood and hard wire cloth
*they have a run that is 6 foot high brick wall on 2 1/2 sides and my house the other (the half side had the gate to the rest of yard
* there is no top on run that is work in progress as money or wood comes avilable
* My chickens are never locked in there run they free range in back yard all day till I put there buts in at 8pm every night
* I have 3 big dogs that love my chickens and have made them a part of the pac
* becasue of dogs I have never seen a cat in my back yard
Now my ? I heard one of my chikens making a noise over in the run and when I got there my dog duke had chased a cat over the 6 foot brick wall (I think becase the wild birds try and steel from my chickens it was after that) Can an adult chicken hold its won to a adult cat till the dogs come to the recue? or do I need to reallly start to stress out now.
