Feral kitten

[Clrboone]

Hello,
We had a feral kitten maybe 3 weeks old find our chicken house and fall asleep. I have been feeding and he is becoming a little more friendly.
Is this ok? The hens don’t mind.
He/she has his own little bed now.

All my cats are feral rescues. They do not bother my chickens. They did show some unusual interests when I had baby chicks in a cage outdoors,,,, years ago.
My grown chickens,, (bantams) are never bothered. View my Avatar.

WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I have feral cats around my place and they have never bothered my birds. If anything the cats are slightly afraid of my birds. Just keep young chicks away and you'll be fine

Hello,
We had a very small feral kitten out by the road about 600 ft from our home. I tried to catch it with no success. The next evening, I was checking for eggs and it was sleeping next to the nesting boxes. It has been there ever since. Is this ok for the flock? The hens don’t seem to mind. The kitten is about 3 weeks old.
Thanks

As long as the kitten isn’t harming anyone, it sounds fine to me,

Thank you. As soon as I can touch it, I will take it for shots and spay/neuter.

My son's 12 year old grey tabby loves when I hatch or get new chicks. She insists she introduced herself right away and welcomes them to our menagerie.
