baby chick brought to my back door

[koko365]

hello,

two little boys around 8 years old came to my back door yesterday with a baby chick that might be a few days old at most.
I put it in a bird cage in my kitchen last night, but now I don't know what to do with it. It peeps non-stop except if I hold it. I do have crumbled tiny chicken food and water for it, but it is non-stop peeping! please give me some advice.

Probably cold do you have a heat source for it?

It need a heat source and a buddy. They don't do well alone

Do you know if it is a chicken chick or some kind of wild chick? He needs a heat source as the others have said. A mirror or a stuffed animal will give him something to snuggle with.
