I snuck out with my flashlight at 705 and still breathing. At lunch hour he will be offered his birdie Gatorade.. (sugar water)

He didn't make it. I couldn't see any major places on his body so internal injuries maybe

So sorry. Often the crushing bite of a bobcat will crush internal organs. Condolences.

I'm proud of you not letting him be taken away and bringing him home to let him have his last moments with his flock, you did well

I'm a stay at home mom and during school hours I usually spend hours with my birds. You can look thru my messages with my friends and family and all I seem to talk about is my chickens. I'm allergic to cats and we have a dog but the birds and I have that special bond mainly bc I hatched them and they spend their first few weeks of life in my room with me in their warm box so after a few days of them being hatched is when they get slightly handled more and more and of course they can see the tv and I just overly bond with them. Bert was with us for 2 years he actually came from my dad's game chickens. He will be very much missed . Now I'm down to 2 laying hens which were Bert's ladies and my polish and apparently I have 4 tea cup bantams?? But my mother in law and I are sitting on the porch as I type Watching over the 3 chickens that aren't currently penned up due to they got turned loose by someone going up in our holler and took up homestead here and I cannot get close to them nor reach them where they roost. The bobcat will be dealt with along with our bear problem as we have a kill permit for the animals thru the dnr people. I secured the one for the bobcat earlier. It is now beyond personal with the predators
