Hey guys I found a wild chick in a drain on my front porch this morning. Looks really young and im currently keeping it in a pail. Its doing pretty well for the moment and willing to eat grains of rice and even millipedes i find in my garden. Any tips on how to take care of this guy/girl?
Tried looking for its parents since there are usually flocks of wild chicken near my house but the hen I found rejected it and there were wild monkeys eyeing it so i brought it back home.

just keep the guy, these chicks are usually very independent from the start
and do not forget to give it water too
Every time.

so fucking cute

Yea it really is. Never kept chickens before but a few google searches and i think its a female welsummer. Shes really needy and falls asleep in my hand

So adorable, OP. Take good care of it. By the way, you said monkeys---what country are you in?
Anyways, keep the Colonel alive for me.
put marbles in the water bowl so it doesnt drown

I live in singapore right next to a park. Lot of wildlife nearby and this isnt the first time they've come into my house. Had to catch and release a few baby monitor lizards before.

There's a wives tale that a bird eating raw rice will have it expand in their stomach and they'll basically pop. It's not dangerous to give them cooked or uncooked, you're good. Take care of the sweetie.
