Ok, so I have a broody hen on one egg (started with 6, but it's been a whole thing). It's developing well day 21 will be this Saturday. I have a couple questions...

1 - Is it ok that there's only 1? Will it get lonely?

2 - Will the rest of the flock accept this little chick if it hatches successfully?

I have no backup plan if they don't. No heat lamp or anything. 😬

The mama integrating the chick to the flock always works better than if they were bought or incubated.. It probably won’t get lonely wi th mama, but she’s going to have to be kept an eye on..
