This is what a struggle for attention is like...

Someone got stuck.

Oh my gosh Chris ❤ ❤ Sorry to take over your thread about a cat after my chickens when you have much worse threat. I felt I could get good advise here. And I did!

Nonsense Patti. I don't own this thread, and if you have a concern, it should be addressed too.

I'll make you a deal. I'll hatch and raise them until you're ready for them in exchange for 1 nice drake. How's that sound?

You can keep as many as you'd like! I just don't want the eggs to go to waste... and I know that you like incubating all the things! lol. I keep seeing all your baby ducks and I'm so jealous. I was *this* close to having ducks, and this darn virus stuff is messing up my whole year. I'm hoping it'll blow over this spring and we can get back to our regularly scheduled nonsense, haha!

My cat flocks with the ducks. They are a team. Perhaps because they are both coyote food?

So I need some advise. We have renters five acres away nice people but they have cats and yesterday I was cleaning the coop when everyone became hysterical (only way to explain it) rooster was sounding the alarm my two “guard”geese scared worse than everyone else I just knew a hawk had flown in. But when I walked around to see what it was it was the neighbors big orange cat at the fence stalking my birds. I hollered and it ran but I got to thinking most of my chickens c are bantam do you think it would be brave enough to climb the fence an go after them? I told my dh I will carry the 22 out and shoot at it and try to scare it into another of its 9 lives I really don’t want to kill it but boy were my birds scared.

I remember that in the area i grew up our neighbors used a garden hose to keep our cat (a huge red/white tiger-striped tomcat) out of their gardens. He learned his wet lessons very quickly and after being soaked two or three times he avoided the neighbors gardens, despite yummy chickens and tasty bunnies available. Cats do hate water!

@Miss Lydia

I am so sorry I forgot to add one important part of my response to your stray cat....

If the cat should decide to mend his ways and go after dux instead of chicks, please encourage him...
