if you are talking about the babies then i should know. you put them in a brooder somewhere in your household.like a garage or something like that because the are very messy.then you cover your brooder in newspaper and get them the proper feeders and waterers. a brooder is a box or cage you will keep them in until all their feathers come in. while their feathers are growing, put a red heat lamp over the chicks to keep them warm.

∙ 15y agoThis depends on what species of bird you are talking about. Food and temperature requirements can vary widely depending on the species. If you have a wild baby bird, take it to a local animal rehab organization which can be found by calling animal control. If you try to raise a bird that young yourself without the proper supplies, you run the risk of killing it.

∙ 9y agoIf you have a chickadee as a pet, it needs to be cared for like any other bird. Make sure you feed it birdseed and water and make sure it has a clean cage at all times. Chickadees are wild birds and should not be kept as pets.

∙ 13y agoI just hatched chicks yesterday, so i would know. You leave them in the incubator until they're dry. Then you put a towel in a cage or box and a small amount of food on the floor of the box/cage. Take the top off an old container of whip cream and wash it thoroughly and fill it with water for them.
If they don't know how to drink, show them the water and dip the tip of their beak in it. Then lift them and let them swallow. DONT DROWN THEM. Same with food. Putting the food on the floor encourages them to eat off the ground. They'll learn to walk on their own. And don't take them out of the box and play with them for a few days. otherwise they may get sick. Just do the basics above and they'll be fine :)
GOOD LUCK!

∙ 13y agoThe most important thing is that the foliage stays dry and uncovered by leaves. If they are hardy to your zone and the soil is very well drained, you should be fine.
