HELP!! Abandoned chick won't stop loud chirping

Sadly I think your chickie has a disease and the mother bird knew that and left it to protect her other chickies. Is it still alive?
 
Do you have any other pets? A bunny, or calm dog? They could give it the company it needs without harming it
 
The chick has probably imprinted on you, and it wants it's mother around constantly, aka you.

Ack! I have this problem now. The hen has hatched one chick per week for 3 weeks (long story, my fault). She's been on the nest for more than a month and thelast egg hatched last night. She has basically ignored it and when the chick called her...loudlythe hen attacked her and pecked her head until it started bleeding. She seems ok now but she wants me to hold her. I put a small towel in the brooder so she could get under it but she's still not happy. Any new thoughts?
