This is one of our tomcats, Collie. (Named because he had the markings of a Border Collie when he was a kitten.)
All three of our one-year-old tomcats like to hang out in the chicken coop. It’s relatively warm in there, there’s fresh water, and mice. The chickens ignore the cats but the ducks don’t care much for them so far, hissing and snapping when the cats come near.
I let the baby ducks out of the coop today. They hung out in and around the corn crib all day. When it was time to go back in for the night I could only get half of them to brave the ramp into the coop (by sprinkling feed up the ramp.) Hopefully the rest will follow suit tomorrow. For tonight they’re bedded down in the alley of the crib.
