Had a bad storm here last night and this morning there was a very small bird (no idea what kind) wet and shivering on top of our Silkie's coop. Seems like it is unable to fly. I placed him/her inside with our four Silkie chicks (range from 5-7 weeks old) b/c I obviously felt bad for the little guy. I'm worried about possible diseases or bugs that could be spread? Is keeping this guy inside the coop with our chicks a bad idea? I guess we don't really want to keep it long term but would at least like to feed it and help it get back on its feet (so to speak).
