Answer 1

With the information you've given to me .. It won't live. It's expensive enough to hand-feed and time consuming. At that age, you have to feed it at least ever two hours. I'm talking about .. all night as well.

Call animal control and they will come and rescue it for you, can't say that it will live, though.

Answer 2

If you can find its nest, the best thing is to put it back. Warm the baby in your hands first. The parents won't reject it as some people think. They have no sense of smell anyway.
A baby bird without feathers is very delicate and you may not be able to care for it. If you want to try, make sure to keep it warm enough until its feathers grow in. Give it a cozy nest. You can by baby bird formula at the pet store; it works for any species, because it includes the digestive enzymes. Feed the bird with a medicine dropper or bird feeding syringe. Mix a batch of fairly watery food, and make it warm, not hot. The first few times, you will have to force the bird's beak open, then put the dropper/feeder WAY down the bird's throat and squeeze some in. The bird will resist, but will relax when it realizes the food has gone into its crop. Soon the bird will open its beak wide to be fed, and will call for food when it's hungry. They need to be fed often at this stage, but not during the dark hours of the night, because their parents don't feed them at night. As the feathers grow in, you should be able to figure out what kind of bird it is, and what it eats in the wild. You will start giving it solid food, but the type will depend on whether it's a seed-eater or a bug-eater, or something else.
You most likely will need to release it to the wild once it's grown up; check back if you get this far, and learn how to do this.

Might be a sparrow, keep it in an empty shoe box lined with towels you can use either a desk lamp or a heating pad to keep it warm. But check often so he or she doesn't get too hot. If the bird's too hot it'll open it's mouth and 'pant' if he or she is too cold it bird might shake a little.

Go to the pet store and get some meal worms, blend them up with some warm clean drinking water and feed the bird with a plastic spoon. Go slow so it doesn't choke, you'll need to do this every 45 minutes to 2 hours(including during the night). Make sure to keep the bird in a room away from pets or anyone else in the house.

If you want the best adivce ask a vet, chances are you might be able to take care of it yourself. Keep in mind that this bird will probably think of you as a 'parental' figure.

Answer 4

first of all, you will could desire to infer what form of chicken he's. If that's a carnivorous chicken, you will could desire to feed him uncooked meat. otherwise, purchase some small grubs/crickets from a bait keep. that's what the chicken will maximum probably devour. those will could desire to be fed to the toddler by hand, because of the fact it rather is how that's familiar with ingesting from its mom. If he would not look eating the water on his very own, and would not look getting adequate fluid from his nutrition, then that's advisable to purchase a watch dropper and supply him some drops each and every now and then. It seems such as you have the ambience for the little chicken particularly lots on course, merely attempt to simulate his nest as heavily as conceivable. solid success!

Answer 5

You need to check the area you found the bird for a nest. It's best chance of survival will be with it's parents. If you can locate the nest, put it back. If you cannot find a nest the next best thing is to get it to a wildlife rehabilitation center in your area. These people are experts and will be able to identify it and get the bird the proper diet and care it needs. Do not call animal control or take it to a vet..it will most likely be euthanized rather than cared for. Do NOT attempt to care for this bird yourself..it is illegal and it will most likely die in your care..even giving a baby bird water can kill it if you are inexperienced in doing this. They can easily drown. Please get this bird to a rehab ASAP for it's best chance of survival. Look here for a local rehab near you:

Answer 6

You must keep it warm. Try to rig up some sort of light on it. Cover it with a cloth so the light doesn't burn it. You can buy meal worms at a pet store to feed it. You are going to have to feed it often so be prepared to be getting up through the night. And make sure you will be able to feed it during the day. Good luck.

I have had luck with raising them but it is a lot of work.

Answer 7

They generally won't live more than a day or so. They are esxtremely temperature sensitive and need to be kept warm. It's unlikely you can do that or feed it what it needs to survive. I've tried numerous times. It never works. I even tried with a few that were on the verge of flying but they died.

Answer 8

I read a sign in a pet store to not feed it or give it water but to call a care place and let them take it.

Answer 9

grind grams and make it into a paste. make small balls of that paste and put it in the birds mouth.
now u wil find it dead and stiff like a pad within a day or two.
