I've had a baby chicken since last weak and I pet her and spend a lot of time with her which is something I love. But I don't know if she's going to survive without other chicken friend. Maybe she will get use to be alone; but I'm not sure. I don't want her to be sad or to grow up sad.
 
Hi :welcome

Glad you could join the flock! I too would recomend that you get her a friend of a similar age and size so that she is not lonely. Chickens are flock animals amd thrive with other chicken friends that live with them. I hope you are able to find her a friend I'm sure she would appreciate this very much.

Enjoy BYC and all the chicken chat :frow
 
Welcome to BYC! Glad you joined the flock! Chickens are social and prefer at least one other. If not they will bond to other animals as part of their flock. With other chickens it can teach her social and ordinary chicken behavior.
 
Hi and welcome. Ditto on all the above posts and what better excuse for chicken maths!

OR you may want to raise him/her as a housechicken. There is a popular thread called "people with housechickens." I mention that because going from one chick to several is a big move. Maybe you should wait and see how things go with your family and the one chicken for now.
