Does your chicken steal catfood?

[mrshafer5]

The chicken seems to run the show. I try to feed the cat every once and a while she'll come bully the cat for a couple pieces.

She is NOT stealing, she is collecting her rent for the cat to be in her kingdom.

My chooks love cat and dog food dry or wet. In fact when I got my first chicks I ground large dry food in a spice grinder for them. LOL

When we were kids, my brother wanted me to lock the chickens up while he fed his poor little beagle. She'd bark and bark and bark while they walked right around her and stole all her food.

It is stealing when taken from beagle buts cats gotta pay rent.

YES. Our chickens love cat food! It doesn't help that the chickens are dominant over the cats, so they don't even fight back! Even the bantams will put their neck feathers out, and lunge at the cats.

my wild cat has many chicken friends, he is always right out there hanging with the chickens all the time, & maybe thats why the birds of pray stay away..? when they see the cat & figure its safer to go hunting wild rabbets instead ,but when it comes to his cat food , the chickens are right there to help him out of his food HA, he tries eating as fast as he can just to get a few bites in before the chickens arrive to help him out of the rest, so i started feeding him double amounts of food after the chickens go to bed at night , that way he can eat it all night long ,its the only way the cat can ever eat in peace with 75 chickens around , but he is also a good mouser to HA .

HA

Chickens love can and dry cat food. What ever is left over from the cats the Hens get the rest. My girls (hens) actually peck at the others so they get more cat food. There is always one that tries to keep the others away from the cat food.
