So, we have a chicken laying on peahen eggs that we thought were bad. Shocked today to find a baby! Now what?? We don't know what do do?
1. Do we try to put baby with the peahen and remove her from the chicken hen that sat on the eggs?
2. Do they need to be with a an adult at all?
3. Can we put it with 4 week old baby chickens? We have those in a different coop with a heat lamp
4. Please help! Can respond to this or text me or email me, I'm freaking out.

Why do anything? Let the chicken hen raise the chick. The hen will probably lose interest in the chick in about six weeks, by that time the chick can go in with the rest of the chicks in their brooder. Some hens will care for them much longer until they can't cover them at all but will sleep together on the roost.
