Question by : Do feral cats (not tigers) kill/attack and eat backyard chickens?
i have a few pet chickens and recently 2 got caught by something (we think it was a cat) and killed. Could this be a feral cat?
Also, one is 3 years old, the other is 1 year old

its possible,depending on the breed of the chickens,if theyre small enough,or young enough,it may also be a raccoon,skunk,opossum,you should try to build them a fenced in aria,that nothing can get to.

My cat killed all of my chickens. 🙁 Don’t trust a cat. My cat wasn’t feral either. It was still a kitten.
