Hello everyone, I received my frist bantam Cochins a little over a month ago 2 hen's (Hennie Pennie a mille fleur and Bridget a mottled) and a roo (Gator Bait) they had 5 little one's but only one made it (Lucky). I have 5more of their egg in the incubator along with 8 Sultan bantam and 12 polish eggs.

I'm not sure what the age disparity is between your chick and the Craig's List babies, but if yours is only a few days old and the others are two weeks, be VERY careful. Watch them for a while to make sure that your little one doesn't get picked on. I've seen chicks at 1 day old go after a freshly hatched chick. I'm just saying...........................

No she is 2 weeks today I have always had good luck as long as they are about that age but the woman had sold them. My husband is out of town traveling for work though so I have literally spent every minute with her she is sitting on my hand now as I text this lol she is doing well and I have a friend close by whose babies are ready to hatch so hopefully I can get a chicken buddy for her in the next couple of days if not I don't mind her company she can just be a house chicken

Get her some buddies as soon as possible. A velcro chick is fine for a couple days, but it can get old quick.

Hopefully by Saturday she will have some company, I've never had a Velcro chick but I also raise wild baby birds so I am used to the constant neediness but I also am able to let them back into the wild. I figure it wouldn't be healthy for a chicken to be needy to people it's whole life :/

Yeah, giving her some younger chicks to mother will give her a purpose, instead of a constant need.
