First hatchling- mom seems scared

[DagaPh3]

I'm concerned baby is too cold. How long does it normally take a first time mom to sit on hatchling?

generally the mamma does a pretty good job of keeping chicks warm but moving them into a garage with a heater won't hurt and I'm sure they'd appreciate it

How cold is it outside?I would think the baby would snuggle up under the mom.Can you post a picture?

Is she still in the nest on the other eggs? If so, slip the chick under her and monitor.

Mama was wounded- so I let her have her eggs to keep her still. They're all in my house . Mama doesn't seem to know what it is

I'm new & trying to figure out the posting here. I think I managed to post a pic of her set-up

I have a brooder and a heat table but really want Spirit to be a mom..

I'm concerned Porkchop (baby) is too cold .. still drying from the hatch.

Back story:

Spirit was wounded badly a little over a month ago. When she laid eggs, I decided to let her keep them. (To keep her still so she could heal. ) It worked!

Porkchop was by the door of the cage, not in the wooden bowl, inside the white wood crate, in the cage.

Spirit had pooped EVERYWHERE. (on remaining 3 eggs, cagebut not on Porkchop )

How long do I leave them alone before I need to provide Porkchop with heat? It's a 24 day hatch... if that matters.

Thank you for any and all information!

I'm sorry to keep posting but I really need help.

Baby was cold to touch & laying in a ball.

Mom just watching but not doing anything.

I took baby and am heating it up with a heating pad..
Baby is now starting to peep and move around.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
