My 3 cats haven't bothered the chickens at all. One of our cats is an EXCELLENT hunter, SO I made sure to keep her away from them when they were chicks. I would even shout "NO!" at her if she even looked at them. She walks right past them now and doesn't pay them any attention.
We have another cat that sleeps with them when she has access. During the summer, they (the chickens and the CAT) all went under the porch together to keep cool. She will stretch and rub up against them...they are so weird.
The third cat just doesn't seem to even care that the chickens are here. He is too lazy to chase anything anyway.
I think the key is that we made it clear to the cats from the very beginning that the chickens were pets.
