and let my big black cat check them out.They followed him everywhere, in the house, and cuddled up with him, followed him outside around the property.
I have pics of him lying on my bed with chicks standing on him. None of the dogs bothered them or
bothered the chickens. Actually they gave all the chickens a wide berth because mama hens tore after any of the fur kids who got too close to the chicks.

If you know your pet, and are willing to make a gentle introduction, it usually works out.
With the cats, the chicks/ducklings were never around him unless I was there.
When they got bigger, and were outside, there was no problem, they could defend themselves if they had to.
