I'm a Newbie chicken raiser!

Hello! Welcome to BYC! I too would keep an eye on the cat just to be safe! Good luck with your flock!

Welcome to BYC, and good luck with your flock and homestead.

Hiya, and a belated welcome to BYC!

We have two barn cats that we had adopted. They wander among the adult chickens who don’t fear them.

I would never trust them or any cat alone around baby chicks though.

Hi! I have a cat that will sleep on top of the brooder when he gets the chance . I've been lucky though and my cats have never been that interested in harming the chicks (they've always been in a secure brooder or supervised, though.)

Once they are out of the brooder, they usually seem to be fairly able to handle their own. I hope you have good luck with everyone though! And don't worry, the chickens and BYC will have you trained up in no time!

Thanks for joining and welcome to BackYard Chickens!
