Urgent! Just found 3 abandoned birds that look like little chickens

[Arth2420]

Are these chickens? They seemed kind of hungry when I found them abandoned in a parking lot. They're obviously pets since they ran right up to be and I gave them some rice and oatmeal and they gobbled it up. What should I feed them? PS I live in an area where there are no wild chickens.

They look like chicks. Some starter grain if ur gonna keep them. Any local feed store should have it.

I think they're chickens and yes starter is good. But great job with the rice and oatmeal! That'll work.

It is sad when people just toss animals out! You are a great person with a big heart for taking them in!!

I'm never lucky enough to find random parking lot chicks

Do you have a way to keep them nice and warm? Chicks that age need access to warmth, food and clean fresh water at all times if you use a heat lamp for warmth, make sure they can get away from it in case they get to warm- like only having it over one side of the enclosure. Thanks for takin the little babies in! Poor things. You're their hero!
