Google said its not a good idea but my chickens are separated with an electric fence and I've seen cats free ranging with chickens. What is everyone's opinion on cats living with chickens? And by the way will feral cats eat chickens? Will a well fed cat go after chickens?
Can cats live with chickens?

probably yes... for a few moments... but also probably not a great idea...
i used to live with somone who kept birds and would even let them out in the same room with their cat which when it was younger was a very able hunter of pretty much anything smaller than itself.
one time we were laying on the floor enjoying the warm sun spots on the carpet from the large windows and the birds were about and a few of them started moving away like they were being chased. the kitty cat tensed up like it was about to spring and then looked at me - i looked back...
semi-feral or feral kitties will gladly eat anything they can catch.

Definitely will go after chicks. But my ninja hens take action fast and furious! My chickens free range, my cats are 7 feral, & 3 wandered in tame. They do hunt mice but give my chickens space. In fact...leave them alone and walk right on by them.
