How to keep lonely chick happy before others hatch?

[lavendermarie]

I have one bantam chick that hatched early, and the other’s aren’t due till tomorrow. Every time I leave her alone in the brooder, she just cries and cries. It’s a pretty warm day, so most of the day she’s just sat with me which seems to keep her happy. But eventually I’m going to have to sleep and I don’t know how to keep her happy and comfortable until the others hatch. Any advice? Thank you!

Put a small mirror in there.... they think they have a friend

Small stuffed animals or a mirror might help.
