The chick that came from the incubator is something else.. I don't know wat to do with it.. it peeps 24/7 I have 30 other chicks and this one is the only one that don't seem happy I've tried everything I have even carried it around in sports bra and that's the only time it's fine that's why I asked about putting it with the hen that's sitting

It's cold.
How old is that chick?
How old are the other 30 chicks? How large is the brooder?
Are the hen's eggs fertile? Have you candled them?

Post a picture of the brooder please.
Post a picture of the incubator chick please.
Is the chick eating and drinking? Did you show it the water and watch it drink? Have you seen it eating?
Candle the broody eggs tonight after dark.
