Newly hatched chick abandoned by mother, don't have a heat lamp

[biophiliac]

Well we returned it to the mother last night and she seemed to accept it fine, we watched for a while and she was happily allowing the chick to stay under her with the rest of them...

And then we found the chick dead this morning, next to the mother hen but not under her. It's so sad after it made a full recovery.

What do you think happened? Did the mother hen kick it out or did the other chicks do that? We put it under the hen at night time so we thought it would just sleep there with the rest of them.

So sorry for your loss. You tried hard.. sometimes it's nobody's fault.
