Dang! It's been 30yrs sence I've seen or heard of one in our area. Stay safe and sorry for the loss.

I live in the Austin tx area. Does anybody know or have experience with farm rescues, chicken sanctuaries, or other pet sanctuaries around austin?

Does anyone know anything about these locations or have any experience with them?

Austin Animal Center is the city-run shelter. They are understaffed and consistently overpopulated due to people being irresponsible about cats/dogs. I highly doubt they would provide an outcome that matches your desires.
Humane Society is where I adopted one of my dogs and they're great, but no idea about chickens.
Chaperone'd my kids' field trip to Crow's Nest Farm and it seems like a great facility, but I don't know if they accept chickens.

One of my jr chicken farmer's classmates that ended up with an unwanted roo, gave theirs up to someone on Craigslist after visiting the place and being content with the environment. Of course, YMMV.

Good luck.

Haven't been here in awhile!...I have extremely sad news, as of Monday, I lost my dog, Gracie, to what I think was a cougar! I was feeding and watering my birds before going to work, it was 4:20am. She barked twice, then let out a blood curdling scream or yelp for about 3 seconds, then silence! I don't think it was a coyote cause she was taken to be fed to whatever it was cubs or pups. Coyotes will kill a dog but usually don't eat that kill. She only weighed about 6lbs...not as big as a jack rabbit.

There have been more sightings of cougars in the San Antonio area in recent months and especially up into the hill counrty. Just everyone watch your small animals when they are outdoors!

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry to hear that! That's awful.

There have been cougar sightings around here, so it very well could've been one. I know one was sighted recently a few miles away from me at a trail head!
