Paola Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Our nine month old Main Coon cat Azlan has brought home two dead chicks (chicken) One today and the other a couple of days ago They had just started to grow there grown up feathers on there wings I know he is only acting on instinct but I am a little miffed that whoever owns the chicks are not protecting them well enough Surely if he can get them then Mr Fox will also have a good chance I live on a new build estate and know of "Ooops, word censored!"ody else who keeps chickens He also brought home a duckling the other week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 how awful. I mean, it's horrid when they catch birds anyway but as a chicken-keeper yourself, you must feel even worse. The owners isn't protecting them, though. If your cat can get to them, then so can a fox. In fact perhaps the fox has already had the others. Sadly it's the time of year - I have never found bells etc. to work. Don't think there is much you can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessa the Duchess Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 That is really sad Paola I agree the chickenkeeper is not doing a very good job. I thought M.Coons were supposed to be 'gentle giants' and not into stalkiing and killing things, yours is obviously a feisty one Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 What a shame. As you say, the chicken keeper is not doing a very good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 They may have a fox watch which would not deter cats if it is set to the right frequency. In which case they could well be very upset with no idea what is taking their pets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
