bird spotted

STRAY DOMESTIC CHICKEN SPOTTED. Spotted a black-feathered domestic chicken pecking in the grass at the intersection of Wilson and Beatrice, adjacent to Trowbridge Park, northwest corner. It was right near the wooded trail edge/tree line. Animal Control has been notified but they stated they will not dispatch an officer unless the bird is actively injured. Posting here in hopes the owner sees this or a local poultry rescuer can head out before dark/predators get to it. As far as I know, the chicken is still in the area. I spotted it approximately one hour ago and have been researching what to do about it ever since.

What to do if you find a stray in Oshawa

  1. 1

    If the pet seems safe to approach, check for a collar and tag

    A visible phone number or tag is often the fastest path to reuniting the pet with their family.

  2. 2

    Take a clear photo and note the exact location

    Photos are the single biggest factor in matching a stray to a lost-pet listing.

  3. 3

    Post the sighting on Lost.ca

    One minute, no account required. Your post is visible to every owner searching Oshawa.

  4. 4

    Take the pet to a shelter or vet to scan for a microchip

    Most shelters scan for free. Vets can also check the microchip registry.

  5. 5

    If you can safely hold the pet, do so

    Many owners aren't nearby to pick up immediately. If you can't hold them, at least mark where and when you saw them.

Shelters and rescues near Oshawa

Contacting local shelters is one of the most important steps in reuniting a lost pet. Many shelters only hold stray animals for 72 hours, so call the ones nearest where your pet was last seen as soon as you can. Lost.ca partners with humane societies and shelters across Canada, and many now post the strays they take in on Lost.ca too, which is why owners often spot their pet in this feed before the shelter calls.
