So on Saturday I had a neighbor call and ask if we would be willing to take a baby chick. Apparently, her sister gets baby birds (chicks, ducks, whatever) EVERY year for Easter and then after a couple of weeks when they get sick of them they dump them off somewhere. Well, when they did that this year, one of the baby chicks came back. My neighbor was at her sisters house when this happened, felt bad for the chick and brought it home - then called me because she didn't know what to do with it. Call me crazy but I think it is WRONG to treat animals like disposable toys that you can throw away when you loose interest in them and they aren't fun anymore!
So now I have this sweet baby chick - I can't put it with my 2 year old chickens because they will hurt/kill it, so right now I have it in a bird cage, all by itself. Every time I take it out of the cage it runs up my arm and "curls up" on my shoulder under my hair. The poor thing has to be scared and lonely. What do I do?
