Is there some place that we can call or take them to have them check for West Nile? If they do test positive for it what can we do the protect our kids.

This is what i would do, I would put on some rubber gloves, and place the birds in a big enough bag and take them to the nearest animal shelter. Tell them your situation and ask them if you would test the birds. If they come out postive, I'd see if maybe your city (If it is a small one like mine) would spray for mosquitos around your neighboorhood. My city sprays chemicals up and down the streets and by local ponds and rivers to decrease them. Hopefully this helps :)

Most song birds only live for two to three years depending on you area so, you'll find dead birds from time to time. In case of West Nile fever don't touch the bird with your bare hands. Call animal control, if they won't do anything see if you have health control and see what they'll do. Some cities like ours have mosquito control, they will pick up the birds.
Otherwise, if all fails, take a plastic bag, make sure no holes are in it, put your hand in it and turn it inside out. Holding the bag like this pick up the bird and turn the bag around so it doesn't touch you and seal the bag, if no one wants it put it in the garbage.

Cayotes, raccoons, foxes, stray canines, and weasels/stoats are all probably culprits. they're conventional for killing each and every thing whilst they get into coops. The animal probable got here interior and each and all of the birds went exterior, that's why the floor interior the coop keeps to be fantastically plenty undisturbed. as a results of fact of this we by no ability go away our coop open unatended, and we've an electric cord working each and each of how around the backside fringe of the fowl's backyard, so as that if something tries to dig below the fence, they're going to get very much shocked. i could propose, that, in case you ever get greater chickens, to maintain the coop door close at nightfall and nighttime. The creature is probably to come back back in case you get greater birds, on account that he's already been effective in getting a stable meal. i'm incredibly sorry approximately this... it is incredibly lame whilst stuff like this occurs. :(
