baby robin fully feathered

[FeatheredFriends&Horses2]

For now, you can put it in a cardboard box with some paper towels and a very shallow, small dish of water.

it’s also very dark when we found it. it’s around 9 ish here and we found it around 8:45 the sun had already set it’s night.

If you have not retrieved it from the chicken space please do so immediately.

Chickens and chicken chicks can and will kill it.

Keep it in a box in the house tonight if you must but DEFINITELY get it out of the chicken space.

Yup, they likely will kill it.

Depending where you are it's probably illegal to have a robin. Their survival rate out in the wild aren't really that great to begin with, and I usually leave it up to nature. I've called rehabilitators before, but maybe it's because where I am, they often ignore me. I would still recommend you calling a rehabilitator as the first course of action.

If you **must** keep it, you should put it in a box of its own. if it's fully feathered it will likely fly around, so maybe try to secure it somewhere safe, such as an unused bathroom... or a birdcage if you have one...

Don't feed it water, I believe they eat fruits and insects. You will need to feed them with a tweezer, and if it's receptive, it will open it's mouth up, and you can stuff it in. I'm no expert in this, but you'll find a lot of information on the internet about how to take care of fledgeling robins, and how to go about releasing it back into the wild.

It is a wild bird and the parents will still be feeding it. They will be looking for it and responding to its calls. Put it back high up near where you found it. You have probably ensured it will die by removing it, rather than saving it. Sorry to be harsh. I know you were well intentioned.

You won't want to commit to catching flies and grubs all day and feeding it by hand every 20 minutes, will you? That is what the parents were doing. Plus they were teaching it to fly.

It probably carries parasites or disease that could infect your own flock. I would get it out of there pronto.
