Mom abandoned chick

[redranger209]

So my broody Cochin decided to abandon her chick at two weeks. She won’t respond to her, and is roosting with the flock. What should I do?

How many chicks? At 2wks they're too young to be on their own, you'll need to set up a brooder with warmth until they're full feathered, then introduced to the flock.

One, but the mom realized that she accidentally left the chick, and went back for it.

Hello, Momma Chickens begin to wean at around that age. She is teaching it to be independent. She won't fully wean till it's around 5 to 6 weeks old.
Also she knows at all times where the Chick is. If it really was crying she would be right there to help...

I hope our broody Tootie starts weaning her 4 chicks soon. The chicks are 4 ½ weeks. Glad your broody hen is taking care of her baby.

Do you not have her in with the Flock?..Mommas integrate Chicks without issues..

Mom & babies have been free ranging with the others since they were a few days old. They don't leave her side. Im ready to have Tootie back to laying eggs.
