Yes chicks can be raised alone (with the proper care) just spead LOTS of time with it. You could put a mirror are maybe a few stuffed animals in the brooder with it. It should be fine if you spend a lot of time with it. Good Luck

there is no way you can provide companionship 24/7 the way another chicken does.

My understanding is a single chick need a friend, buddy to hang out with. We had a single pullet years ago so we gave her a friend. A Rooster at the time that was nice and not mean. That was the beginning of our crew back then. The chicks, chickens will get bored. Even older chickens and Roo's get bored. My crew of 10 right now get bored. They have play toys to jump on and off of all day long.

Sorry, you can't have more than one.

Maybe some others can give you some advice.

And is that humane? No.

Chickens are flock animals and should be kept with groups of chickens.

So your saying they should just give up on the chick?
