Do cats get along with chickens?

Mine do.

The chickens come for the cat food but unfortunately leave a few "deposits" behind.

Sadly, there's no great love between our cat & chickens. Theo-kitty is very interested in the girls, but when she tried to sneak up on them once, all four chickens charged her and gave her quite a scare. She now keeps a respectful, if fearful, distance most of the time.

They get along, but the chickens rule the backyard.

I have inside and outside cats. The outside cats don't even glance at the chickens...three of the inside cats try to catch them. I think it's because there are feral chickens that have taught the outside cats that chickens are not to be messed with. I need for mine to get bigger and then maybe they can educate the inside cats.

This is the same for me. We can't even feed the cat out back anymore because the chickens chase the cat and inhale its food

Our barncat brings dead mice and rats to our chickens for them to eat.

So they love her. She sometimes naps in their coop, as well, especially if the heat lamps are going. In return, the chickens like to climb up on the porch shelving to get to the cat's food to eat it.

Yeah, I can only feed the outside cats after dark, and sometimes not even them.

They seem to think that chicks are a buffet around here-

(They don't get near the chicks until the chicks are grown!

This is usually what happens-
