A nestling, if you are describing a baby bird.
Use "chick" if the bird is fully grown but you need to describe it as the offspring of it's mother, say something like "This bird was the chick of that Sparrow over there."
A nestling is a bird that is still living in the nest and remains a nestling until it permanently leaves it's mother and nest.
If you want to describe it, use one of these:
Hatchling: Nestling that has not yet fledged (Grown fligt feathers and learned to fly)
Fledgling: Nestling that has grown flight feathers (remiges and rectrices) and has learned to fly.
Retrices are the tail feathers, and remiges are the longer feathers on the wing used for stabilisation and aerodynamics.

For now, let it eat some bread. Go to a feed store and buy it some mash, or cracked corn, and of course water to drink. Don't worry, geese like to eat grass too. I raised geese before and it is easy. Another thing you ought to do if it is really tiny, is boil some water and fill a mason jar with it ,and then close the lid and put that next to it in the box. It is warm and like a mother and will help it sleep. also change the papers periodically. I hope the thing grows up, because if you set it free, it may leave and come back to visit you many years to come. Any bird will.
