Question by Dawn B: Why do my chickens prefer to eat cat food over chicken feed?
I have to feed the cats early in the morning or late at night while the chickens are locked up in the pen or they will devour the entire pan of cat food. Ironically it is chicken flavored cat food. And the cats do not try to take down the chickens either!
