We live on a farm. We have a "pack" of wild farm cats! We have 3 that actually are our outside cats and then about 12 or so that just roam. I ordered chicks that came in June 23rd so I just made a cage and put them in the garage .. shut the door during windy weather or rain and at night. ( Saves on energy since you don't need a heat lamp for more then one week at night or even just at night). A couple of them started flying already and got out so I got a screen on the top now but when we were chasing them around the garage a couple of the cats killed 3.... So if you live on the farm and have "wild" cats be careful with the little ones!
