The RSPCA is calling for public assistance in relation to an incident where it believes two chickens have been "deliberately set alight" in a South Australian park.

The chickens were found in a skate park within Collins Reserve at Kidman Park in Adelaide on Sunday afternoon.

A member of the public called the RSPCA to report that she had found two burnt chickens — one which was deceased and the other alive, but badly injured and distressed.

The second chicken has since died.

Carolyn Jones from the RSPCA said they were calling for any information from the public regarding the incident and information to help potentially find the owners.

"It's really concerning that anybody would do this to an animal," she said.

"It does appear that they have been deliberately set alight and we really would be very concerned that anybody would think that this is okay to do to any creature."

An RSPCA inspector attended the reserve about 3:00pm on Sunday and also found a third chicken wedged under a fence at the skate park.

The third chicken is now in care at the RSPCA's Lonsdale shelter.

RSPCA South Australia called on the public to provide any information that might help identify the person or persons responsible.

Ms Jones said if the person or persons were to be identified, they could certainly be subject to charges.

"RSPCA South Australia is really needing some information around how these chickens came to be burnt and also who the owners might be," she said.

"We need to hear from anyone who may have seen anything around the skate park yesterday afternoon or anybody who may be the owner or believe they may be the owner or might know the owner of these chickens, to please contact us immediately.

"It does appear that these chickens have been deliberately set alight and if indeed that is the case, that is extremely concerning.

"It concerns us at the RSPCA but that should be of concern to any member of our community.

"If we do find the perpetrator or perpetrators of this act then they certainly can be subject to charges under the Animal Welfare Act."

Anyone with information on the owners of the chickens is asked to make contact with the RSPCA on 1300 4 777 22.
