I sure hope it's the cat! Fingers crossed! You are about an hour and a half from me. Did the birds appear injured at all?

I think they likely all fell out of the nest. That's why you are seeing so many. Do they all look the same?

And this type of bird flu poses no threat to humans. Chickens are safe to eat, eggs are safe to eat. Symptoms of bird flu resemble many other illnesses birds can get, so the only way to know is to have them tested.

looks like a case of only the strong survive. not all chicks that hatch in a nest will make it. siblings will push each other out so they get more food and grow stronger ect...

but if the authority's will take them and have them tested its not a bad idea at all.
