Help! Calling All Robin People!

[Sunny-Side Up]

I went out just barely to check on my chickens, and there was a bird flapping around in my run. It went inside my coop to try and get away. I eventually caught it, and have put it in a makeshift cage with water and some chicken scratch and raspberries. I don't know what kind of bird it is, but it looks like a young Robin. It looks like it's right in between a baby and an adult, and I'm pretty sure it's from a nest in my yard. It can flap a little bit, but only about a foot high. So, my question is what should I do with it? I don't know what stages robins go through, so I don't know if I need to feed it, or try and put it back in the nest, or what I should do. Please help!

Can you place it back where you found it, in case it’s parents are looking for it? They usually will feed one if they can hear it call. It may have fallen from the nest or been pushed.

Edited to say that I just read that it was found by mom.

The robin chick seems to be a fledgling. A fledgling is a baby bird that has flew the nest. It is normally best to leave all baby birds where you find them. In the case of robins the daddy and mommy bird will continue to feed the chick likely for several more weeks as the fledgling grows stronger and stronger.
