    My cat, Pepper, decided to get in on the chicken's daily goodies. The chickens didn't seem to mind, too much, either. That's because she wisely left their watermelon along. [​IMG].

    Quote:My cats, when I first bring home chicks, sit around the box protecting it. Odd behavior for a cat, but I certainly appreciate it.

    Pepper has been watching over these guys since they were day-olds. I'm not sure if she thinks they're cats or they think she's a chicken.

    She's the only one of my critters I totally trust with my chickens.

    Love it!

    When I give the goats their grain, the chickens come in to get the left overs. [​IMG]

    my cat Karen, wants to eat my chickens. She is small like 5 lbs so there is no way she can take on an orpington but its funny to watch her sitting there thinking about it.

    Aww, that is cute.

    My two cats hang out with the chickens, too. I'm very lucky that they are completely trustworthy, even around chicks.
