Good evening folks

 

[Ribh]

Love it to read your posts again Ribh. Especially now you are talking about your broody chickens and beautiful porcelain cups. Best wishes for 2023 to all of you and most of all to Ribh.

To Shad's utter disgust cats were (& are) my first love...

Not fancy but I must show off my new coffee mug warmer. It was a birthday gift from my daughter.

IT'S CATURDAY!
For @BDutch ~The chickens are not scared of the cat. The same cannot be said of the cat...​

Since you are an expert on cats and there are obvious a lot of chicken + cats experts in this tread I have a question for you all.
I have a neighbour cat that often goes into the run if the chickens free range. The chickens don’t like that. A few weeks ago I had the idea that they posted at the entrance of the run to block the entrance to the run to keep the cat out. The chickens barely want to free range anymore. Could this be true?
Now the fresh green grasses and other springlike things (bugs) is coming to life and this seems to tempt the chickens too much to stay in the run.
The cat comes in the run again if the weather is nice. And the chickens don’t go back by themselves after their usual round to take a break. Is there a cat friendly way to stop her to hide somewhere in the run?

The chickens are not very afraid of the cat, but afraid enough not to go in the run.

Get a Vorwerk. They actively seek out my cats to take them on & both cats are terrified of them. So much so that even the little Japs can get a big cat to move out of the way!

The cat in question. I think her name is Sen.
Is friday caturday?

Would bantam Vorwerk work too? I can’t have big chickens. But a Bantam size would fit great. Plan is to buy some fertilised eggs again in spring when I have a broody.
