Housecats and chickens?

[Whiskey Bay]

I have 3 'old women'.... 2 -13yr olds and a 9 yr old.They could absolutely care less about the chickens or chicks.They have their own door into the coop where they mouse at night. I have had chicks all over the place and this is what my supervisor thinks of it...

Once she learned that if she came at them quick, they were not so brave, they stopped pecking at her.

Love the pics...I just wanted to add, that my cats and chickens do very well together. I had an old tomcat that once in awhile would be onery and pounce at them so they would jump, but that was it. He'd pounce and then lay down and clean himself. The chickens would follow him around, so I know they knew he was playing. Unfortunately, he passed away but my female kittie will get right in the middle of my chickens and she doesn't care about them and they don't care about her. She does try to get in the run to look for mousies........Cats and chickens (at least at my house) work very, very well together.
