I have a hen that hatched out 3 eggs a week ago and today I noticed one of the chicks doesn't seem to be thriving like the other 2. It is half the size and seems to want to stay under mother much more than the other 2. I do see a bump in its croup but it is not near the size as its siblings.
My question is, if I interfere and bring it in and verify that it is eating, drinking and discarding enough, will I be able to give it back to the hen in a day or two or will she reject it?
