Can kittens brought up with baby chicks learn to get along with one another?

just keep the kittens well fed just in case
yes they can as i live on a farm and most animals when babys get along together,anne
Yes! I had a cat, a Bantam hen and a crow, they all lived together in peace. I had them in a greenhouse set aside for Therapy, on the grounds of a State hospital facility. We also had...(caged) a Guinea pig, a rat, and a ball python! NOT CAGED TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!!! The cat,hen and crow did live together, and the cat and crow used to team up to hunt the mice we had. I could stick a hose down the mouse hole, the mice would scramble up another hole and the cat and crow would pick them off as fast as they could!
sure...they are all time on farms. You always will chickens, ducks, cats, dogs, other animal all living together.
I think so !!! When I took our kittens to the vet for their 1st jab the vet asked if we had any other animals at home.. We told her we have rabbits and she replied it would be a good idea to introduce the Kitty's to the rabbits. So we did.. I wouldn't say they are Friends, however, the cats just sit a watch them..
when they are young yes, but when they get older make sure you feed them and kept them fed because they will go to the old barn there and have a nice dinner!
Ahh, what kind of chicks??? If you are talking about chickens then they will be fine, in actual fact my cats are scared of my hens as they think nothing of giving them a right pecking! If you're talking about small bird chicks like budgies or something.... then I wouldn't trust the cats enough to leave them in the same room together! Instinct will take over....! Good Luck!
well, i don't think that's a good idea. i have kittens and chicks. both of them get along well at first. then one of my kitten start to join the chicks group. he play with those chicks happily(hide and seek-maybe?). then there he go, a chick in his mouth already. GOTTCHA! can't stop it, cause it keep running. never ever put a prey in front of a cannibal
yes they can
Cats are always the boss, regardless of who lives in the house! :-)
yes...animals learn what they are taught
Yes, the Moscow State Zoo tried several times, various species could live together as long as they were raised to gether. Cats and chicks were one of the attempts. A bear, foxes, and badgers lived in another pen.
Yes. I used to have a pet duck and she and the cat used to share a cushion in the sitting room and no, the cat didn't eat the duck.
yes
