We went to my local store to get two chicks, we came home with only one because it's just a local store and they couldn't get the other one to ship. What do I do to keep this one alive without the other one.Oh and I just got it home about 30 minutes ago.AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have added a stuffed animal and that's about it.

I had an injured chick that lived alone for 2 1/2 weeks. She was loud when I would walk away, and I spent a lot of time with her. She did not have a problem growing and didn't seem to be deprived. I also had an adult chicken who was being picked on and I couldn't get any of my hens to be nice to her, so she lived in a barn all by herself for about a month. Now that she is back with a flock, she is the most independent bird we have, gets along with the others, but loves me more

. I think it should be fine if it's not immediately you get another chick. no one has chicks where you are? seems like an epidemic here, lol

Try a feather duster, or some other type of feathery object (I cut an end off of a feather boa once for just such a purpose). Or, could you get another of the same breed until they can get the one you want? It will do fine by itself with a fake "momma", but it will drive you nutso with it's peeping.

I was honestly going to suggest the stuffed animal thing but it sounded weird.. LOL. KWIM?

Thanks and I'm getting another in 14 day and nope its not an epidemic here because I live in the city.

and I was debating the same breed thing but I have to see if my local store has any left, and apparently the stuffed animal thing isn't that weird haha and THANKS SO MUCH FOR YALLS HELP.
