Rescued orphaned swallow chick

[larbabe]

I've had two more orphaned swallows fall into the yard. The difference is that with these two, the colony immediately began to feed them. We put them on an open stand, and at night, covered them with a cage to protect them. The first developed his flying feathers and has flown the coop. The 2nd is lame like Fred. He has not gotten all of his feathers yet, and is still unable to fly. The only thing we give him is water. It is very hot and easy for him to get dehydrated. I have attached a picture of the chicks.
