New baby chick help

[Cass1218]

So my silkie snuck off and hatched an egg. This is my first go around with my own chicks.

Will the single chick be ok without others?

Is it possible to be able to move mama and baby to a different location now that it’s hatched? I’m worried since it’s my silkie and she’s the tiniest of my flock that the baby will end up hurt.

Single baby chicks raised with a mom will be perfectly fine. You just don’t want a single baby chick all alone in a brooder. It’s fine to move the mom and baby to another location, preferably within sight of the flock.

Thank you!
