Not sure if this has been addressed, but if so I can't find it.
I have a single chick that was born last night. Her siblings are already about 1.5 weeks old. At this point she is in the incubator and they're in the brooder.
I hesitate to put her with them until she's a little older. What should I do?
*POI, these are the last eggs from a rooster that got taken by a predator, so the last set of eggs was older. They were all pullet eggs, so we didn't expect a high survival rate. We decided to set them anyway.
