Rescued Baby Bird (wild) - PLEASE Help!! Can you tell what it is?

[AccidentalFarm]

Baby is still doing fine - about to have lunch.

That's a great idea about the crickets to get them used to catching their own food. I'm going to do that.

Miriam- I ended up hatching 7 eggs out of 34. Not such great numbers, but only 11 of the eggs were non-shipped and at I know at least one of the 11 were infertile, so 7 out of 11 is not bad. None of the shipped eggs did anything. I threw them out on day 26. I know some leave them longer, but I was pretty sure they were goners.

Of the 7 that hatched, one died (mushy chick), but all the others are doing wonderfully well. They are now babysitting my 29 two day olds that just arrived (from Ideal).

The Polish in the background, the dark colored bird next to it facing the opposite direction, and the dark colored bird to the left side of the photo are 3 of my incubated birds:

Here are a couple more of my incubated babies:

And some of the newest arrivals:

aaww ssoo cute!! like everyone else says keep him comfy temp wise... feed him with a syringe for food...mix alpo dog food...mixed with the reptile food that is made strictly from ALL bug parts, and mix a little bit of boiled egg in with it. mash it up really good to very smooth paste...that mix is loaded with protein for the baby!! if you can put something in there for him to curl up with. when he is old enough get him eatting food on his own he must learn to fend for himself. try to handle him with your hands as less as possible, we dont want him thinking humans are safe!! More then likely he will hang out around your house for several days.


have fun and post lots of pics!!



your chicks are ssoo cute!!

That's a Cream Brabanter and you're right- they are very cute peeps and grow into beautiful birds.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions and support. The baby still seems to be doing okay. I think it's just about feeding time again.

I'd love to see a pic of baby eating if you have enough hands to hold a camera at the same time!

LOL- I'll give it a try when DH is around to help. It's a bit comical- at about every other or third feeding the baby poo's the instant it gets it's first bite of food, then begs for another bite or two, then collapses for a nap. It is also starting to make little chirp noises.

Well, the baby wouldn't eat anything this last time I tried to feed it. It's been several hours now since he did eat. He doesn't appear to be weak, but who knows. Hopefully he is just tired still.

Oh I hope he's gonna be ok...... !
