Be -VERY- careful marking Rubber Chicken based solely on the call. eBird will usually flag the ID since It extremely difficult to differentiate from Rubber Ducky. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. Be sure to keep habitat in mind when trying to make this determination! If it's slap-stick comedy, it's usually a Rubber Chicken. If it's a bathtub habitat it's almost always a Rubber Ducky. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a subspecies, rarely found outside pet stores or pet aisles at Wally. Remember, you can't put them on your list if your dog has killed it.

Please keep the dog away, and try to make it comfortable (the chicken that is). Then check local listings for a rehabber. One of the better ones is Michelin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
