I hope I can get some advice. I had a hen on eggs and when the first hatched and she squished it she abandoned the nest. Another hen, Quailie, took over the eggs but when the next two hatched they were killed, out of the nest and squished. This last one Im trying to save. It is with Quailie right now after I tried to put it with a new hatch from another hen, Little Black Hen. LBH just pecked the new baby and never accepted it in with her 4. Next I tried keeping it with me but it just cried and cried. I finally put it back with its mama, Quailie. Im so afraid it will die. Quailie is on a new set of eggs not due to hatch until three weeks. I can only try to put the little one under LBH tonight and see what happens tomorrow, or leave it with its mama Quailie and then just take it out and try to keep it fed. I have tried to feed it myself but no luck. It did peck around a bit in food while it was with LBH and the 4 other babies. I just dont know what I can do for it. I want to help it to survive so badly. Im just sick that it lost it's 3 siblings. I await any advice and will check back frequently to hear what you all suggest I do.
Thanks in advance,
