To raise a spotted thick-knee chick, provide a warm, secure environment with appropriate food such as insects and small invertebrates, and ensure access to clean water. The slanted appearance of their eyes is natural for this species, as it aids in their visual field for spotting predators; their eyes should not be wide open. Monitor the chick's health closely, keeping it in a stress-free environment to promote healthy growth. If you have concerns about its well-being or development, consulting a wildlife rehabilitator or vet specializing in birds is advisable.
