Good thing the shop let you buy a single chick! The only real sources around here are Tractor Supply and a local feed store chain (three or four shops total). TS won't sell less than SIX chicks at a time; the feed store won't sell less than four.
Updating on my situation - As of the end of the day yesterday (Tuesday) the first chick is doing fine, but Mama Buff was still insisting on sitting on the remaining 5 eggs; no sounds, movement, or signs of pipping from any of them.
So I'm back to trying to decide if and when I should take those eggs away, for the sake of the existing chick.
