I think it would be lonely. I have to do something with it soon, as I am setting more eggs in the next couple days!!!

Oh, darn. You will just have to give her to me, now won't you?

Hang in there, baby chick!!

Get a mirror for her, and a small feather duster and put them in with by herself if she can't make it with the bigger chicks. She can pretend she has buddies! Seriously though, if they are picking on her you may have to.

I was lucky enough to have a broody hen at the end of my last hatch -- the "shellers" (needed to be helped) I stuck under her. Most of them recovered and were fine after being under her for a couple of days! Course, she's a silkie -- so she was happy just to cuddle them.

I left my one baby that I had to help out of the shell, in the bator for an extra day after the others were in the brooder. She seemed really weak at first, but perked up just fine in the end. She had curly toes too and they straightened out on their own. Once she was all dried off and had a day in the bator, I put her in the brooder with the rest and that really perked her up, it wasn't long until I couldn't even tell which one she was!
