Any Ideas on what killed my Rooster? Graphic Pictures!

That doesn't look like it has any scratches or cuts on it. I would believe it flew up and got it's head stuck!

I agree. He did it to himself. I saw a cow that pretty much did the same thing but used the fork of a low tree. That was a mess.

Last poster had a likely thought about fireworks scaring him. I agree, it looks accidental. If a coon had him there would be pieces and gore.

So sorry for your loss....but I was thinking...even if he couldn't "fly" well...they can fly/walk up the fence..if that makes sense? I have some hens/roos that can do that...

just lost a pullet like this.......in a tree. No matter how bizarre something seems, rest assured-it has happened to someone before.

So sorry for your loss.

I have panels just like yours. I'm going out to check and make sure there are no gaps where my chickens could be put in a predicament like that....I would have never thought that could happen. I know it's a terrible sight to see but thanks for sharing. Sorry again for your loss.
