Never had a farm cat kill anything but a young chick. After they put on some size,(1/3 grown, it seemed the cat would realize they were chickens and not wild birds. Found a sure fire way to break the cats of killing young chicks. We had old cluck hens raising batches of chicks, and there is no more fierce or brave creature than an old hen defending her chicks. Had a chicken wire fence about 4 ft high X 4 ft square attached to the coop, and found that the one fast and permanent lesson to the cats was to toss one into that little pen with a mother hen and chicks in there. The cat would hit the ground and the hen would instantly attack at full emergency battle speed. The cat would bounce off the screen pen walls like an insane pin ball for about 15 seconds until he managed to climb the screen and escape. I don't think I ever had to give one a repeat lesson, as they instantly and permanently associated chicks or hens with a most unpleasent near death experience. ;-)
