Los Angeles police received a call early Saturday of an unusual smell in a Brentwood neighborhood.
Officers and a cadaver dog were dispatched to an apartment building on Kiowa Avenue, said Sgt. Zach Hutchings of the Los Angeles Police Department.
They were looking for a possible body, he said.
When authorities searched a dumpster on the property, they found the source of the foul odor, said Officer Joseph Celis.
The body turned out to belong to a dead chicken.
