Strawn28,
Based on my experiences, be careful about adding a newly hatched chick of any kind with "brooder established" (yes i just made that up) chickens, water fowl and guineas to list a few, you can get away with 1 or 2 older ones but, believe it or not, birds can and will establish dominance over territory and a small flock of chicks can ruin a newborn pretty quickly as it only takes one. Not trying to scare you just monitor the situation closely. Chickens can be cannibals real quick like.

Ya I looked at their size and my pea is just to little. I did finally get her to peck at food and watched her drink water on her own. Fingers crossed think she is getting it.
