Herbenus, I have bantam chickens that are very prolific despite the fact the baby chicks are the size of ping pong balls and I have two adult barn cats. Both the chickens and the cats are free roaming...and to tell you the truth, the cats are afraid of those pint sized chickens and rooster! My dog once tried to eat one, but I yelled, "Out!" He dropped it, but looked at me as if to say..."What?! Haven't you seen a chicken nugget before?" [img]/forums/images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]
