Can This Egg Join The Coop After Hatch?

I have three. But I'm not sure the other two are developing.

Hi! I have a developing chicken egg in the incubator. Can I put her in the coop when she hatches, to be raised by the hens? The problem is, we have two roosters, and a duck that's a little snappish. Will they hurt her? And would the cold be too much for her? If the other eggs don't hatch, we have decided against getting more chicks from the store, so she might need to go in the coop. Please help!

You may be better off raising the chick in a broader! And allow the other chicken to get accustomed to the baby before you introduce it to the flock!

Okay. Would a single chick thrive in the brooder, though? I did it once with a Silkie, and he's okay now, but he's a pretty unique bird.

I'm sure it would much rather have companions but with a little TLC I think that it would grow and eventually be able to join the flock!

Okay. Thank you!
