I don’t actually know, but trying (a)ctivating the feed next to it. I think it should be fine as long as you keep nasties away from it. Animals afaik are not death prone. There are vehicle parts and even backpacks specifically designed to transport animals, dunno if they work on birds.

Cute nugg.

Unless it’s been changed since I last played, you can’t tame them until they’re grown, so chase it into a room you’re not using and close the door until it matures.

Feeding him makes him like me and follow me around so I keep him in this spare room with some food (also need to figure out how to give him some water) and I feed him by hand (since he doesnt eat it normally but I leave it there just incase)  
a little worried wether or not he’s getting everything he needs, I found some hay earlier and was thinking of giving him some so he can nest (not sure what I could give him to perch on tho since I know they prefer that)

There are indeed animal carriers specifically made for carrying birds. One is the chicken cage.

As far as I know and can see, there is no mechanic in the code that would cause a chicken to die of hunger or thirst (unless you play with mods that would cause that).

Food is just used to tame them.  
No bed or anything else really required.

Well… depending on your future plans… you might need a heat source and an object with some form of food cooking quality 🍗 …

Lord Nuggothie P. Twiddlespoon shall be no source of food, nutrition or biological resource under any circumstance whatsoever.  
He provides essential snuggles and cute for when I get in a bad mood from having to eat radioactive veggies.

But is the egg fert? I think you may need some of the elusive “chicken seed”, it’s some sort of rare drop from triffids.
