Last spring, my chickens were going crazy one evening. I went to see what was going on, and there was a cat with 3 kittens in the chicken coop. The cat appears to be a stray. I startled the mom, and she took off. I moved the kittens to a small box and set them outside of the chicken coop. The mom came back later that evening and took the kittens somewhere else. Today, it happened again with the same cat. This time, I shut the coop and trapped her in. My chickens are not pleased that they shut out of the coop. My plan was to catch the mom and take her and her kittens to the animal shelter. I don't want this to be a yearly thing. But unfortunately, the animal shelter is closed for the evening. So, if anyone wants a cat and 3 kittens, and would meet me around Lapel/Noblesville/Anderson this evening, let me know!
Otherwise my hens may be stuck out in the rain tonight. I would also take any advice on how to teach chickens martial arts so they can defend their coop from stray cats. Or, how to transform them into tactical chickens!
