Pics please! Are you looking after him? We have a chick at the minute!

His mom is taking care of him outside. We plan on taking him in tonight if his mom dosent stay with him. Do you have a bird chick or a chicken chick?

Chicken chick, we bought a few 'fertilised' eggs to put under one of our broody chickens, and only one hatched! It's grown loads in the last week, and is out and about with it's mum!

I notice this is an old thread, but please do not touch the chick. When chicks first leave the nest they cannot fly yet, and the mother will return several times a day to feed him. The family does not stay close to the chicks because itwould attract predators so they keep their distance unless feeding. Many people mistake fledged chicks to be abandoned, and it is also against the law in the US to take in any chicks without contacting a wildlife rehabilatator. Hope the chick did well

His mummy came and fed him and the day after i found him he flew off with her.

That is great news!!! I often see people resuing baby birds when they first see them, good for you for leaving him be!

Yes, i only had to house him for a night. The next morning, at six o clock, he was chirping for mommy and then he flew away.
