On the farm we have two barn cats for rat/mice control; Gizmo and Xena both strays (out of many) that showed up on the farm.
You'd think the chickens would be afraid of the cat...
In the morning you'll find at least one (or more) chickens and the two cats waiting on the porch for breakfast... The chickens have learned where the cats eat and have decided cat food is so much better then chicken food.
It ends up with the chickens getting their own treat of stale bread thrown to them so the cats can eat breakfast in peace!
Pictured is Xena..They've had her for 14 years now, and "Miss Red" one of our 6 red chickens.
