To rear a newborn moorhen, provide a safe and warm environment, ideally mimicking its natural habitat with shallow water and plenty of vegetation. Feed the chick high-protein foods like insects and small aquatic invertebrates, ensuring it's easily accessible. Monitor its health and development closely, allowing it to practice swimming and foraging under supervision. Gradually introduce more complex foods as it matures, and ensure it has ample space to explore and strengthen its muscles.
