So this is something I never thought anybody, much less myself, would ever need to ask about.
We have a flock of 5 chickens. They free feed on a layer grain, which changes between Nutrena NatureWise layer crumbles and Payback layer crumbles based on what the feed store has in stock. But they ain't the only ones who eat it. If I have the door of the coop open to let the chickens out, go in for maintenance, etc., the ranch kitties like to go in. Most of them are good. Sometimes they sit in the next boxes, sometime they sit on the roost, but Fez sits in the corner, waits for mice, and occasionally takes tiny nibbles of chicken feed. I stop him if I see it happen, but it continues the next time he's in there.
Is this something I should be concerned about? If it is, then how do I stop it?
