First off, let me say that i do NOT plan on raising a baby bird! We just got back from camping and my neighbor came running over with a baby bird. He said he found it in his driveway the other day and he's had it in his house for a few days trying to keep it alive. He said he sees no nest and his cat will get the bird if he puts it back on his driveway (where it was found). I can take it to a wildlife rescue on my way to work in the morning....which I plan on doing. I have a hen that is broody about 350 days out of the year so I thought....hmmm...I wonder what would happen if I put the baby under her. so I did and she took it right under her.
Now I'm freaking out and am wondering if my chicken can get a disease from the baby bird. should I go take it from her? What do I do with it? Just put it in a box with some tissue? HELP!
