When I got my girls, I was worried about keeping the neighbor's cat out of the yard, but I really had no way to do that easily. I bought an electric fence, but never put it up because one day I saw the cat in the yard with the chickens and all was fine. I've seen her in the yard two other times so it's not all that often, but today I caught her eating their food! I have just switched them to layer pellets and I thought they were finally eating it, but now I wonder if it's the stinking cat. She isn't hurting the chickens, but I don't want her eating their food. I switched to pellets to save food, not feed her. Grr...
Any ideas of how to keep her out? She jumps super high and I can't have my fences that high according to zoning stuff here. I can't spray her with water because as soon as she sees me she runs. Maybe I can figure out a feeding situation that allows the girls to eat, but not the cat. Not sure what that would be though because the cat is smaller than the chickens. Maybe a skinny thing so only beaks can fit?
So annoying!
