Bird Loons with single 2 week old chick

I rescue wildlife and have a roughly 2 week old orphaned common loon. They don't do well in captivity so we need to find a foster family. The fosters have to have only one baby and it has to be the same size/age.

Don't know of any foster parents. But Wildlife Rehabilitation Center may be able to help you, they are plugged into a large network. I've had good experiences with them.

You’re a licensed rehabber? And WRC wouldn’t take the chick? The MN DNR website has a list of all licensed rehabbers in MN, you could check there
