Baby chick found by grandmother

[alevr]

My grandmother found a baby check at her house. The neighborhood cats were trying to kill it and she brought it to me at first I thought it was a bird but then I realized it was a Chicken. Am I going to have problems raising it alone? I do have 7 adult hens and 1 rooster. None of my hens are broody. I really can’t have anymore chickens but I’m willing to get her 1 companion if raising her alone is going to be a problem when I introduce her into the flock. Any advice?

Thank you!

A buddy for the little one would be best, but failing that (or in the mean time) put in a mirror and a stuffed toy for it to cuddle with.
