How do your cats do with your chickens?

Quote:
I raised the chicks in my greenhouse until they went in the coop at 5 weeks. The cats never saw them until then. The cats were very curious at first. My oldest cat will have nothing to do with them. My one year old (brother and sister) like the chickens, and Max will raise a paw only when the chicken get to close doing the stare down.
