My Buff Orp hatched two chicks last week. There were two eggs that got a start a week after the first two thanks to pushy layers. One just hatched in the incubator. Is it too late to add this little one to momma's brood? Are the other one's too old for her to accept and properly care for this new chick? I am prepared to raise it in a brooder, but that would mean getting more chicks around the same age as this little one so it's not lonely.
