i only hatched one chick recently and it has been non stop crying for the past 3 days. i was finally able to get a couple more chicks from somebody but it still hasnt stopped crying. all chicks are about the same age/size, all can fit comfortably under heat, have access to clean food and water. the other new chicks are perfectly happy and quiet but i cant even enter the room with the brooder because if the one chick sees me it just starts crying and doesnt stop for about an hour. what can i do???
 
Being a single chick for several days it has imprinted on you instead his hatchmates and mother hen.

You can pick it up together with one of the other chicks and hold them for a while snuggled together to help your singleton lose its fear of the others.
Do this for at least 10-15 minutes daily for a few consecutive days and it should calm down.
