My broody hatched a chick for first time. Now she is acting like she is scared to death of it
I am afraid she is going to let it die
I have chicks in border about a week old should I put her chick in with them or one of it's own and put a tiny one of the orders in with it or i'll just wait and see if hen takes an interest in the baby.
 
Some hens freak out once the babies arrive. Some will ignore it, others will kill it. Watch it and see how she does, if she's clicking to it to show it food and letting it snuggle for warmth. If she pecks it when it comes near I take them away.
