I have a chick about 3 weeks old in the house - mama left it as an egg in the nest I threw it in the bator and voila two weeks later I had a baby. lol
it wasnt the greatest hatch it ended up loosing its yolk sac but somehow it managed to survive. had to wait for its crusty injured belly button to heal before i attempted to put it with the others.
I have tried putting it in with the mama and her babies but they just peck the poor little thing to bits. I have an injured bird in a big dog kennel but she pecks it to lol
and besides that it fits through the kennel and can escape to the outside world.
what would be the best way to introduce this guy to the rest of my flock - he is almost to big for the brooder i have made for him in the house and i would like it out with the others within the next couple of weeks.
HELP!!!
