I have a developmentally challenged boy too. He hatched under a hen in a nest of 6. He and his brother survived but the brother was normal so Mushy Boy got left behind. I didn't raise him, a second hen who hatched chicks a week later let him join her & her little flock. He limps, sleeps on a low roost, can't mount the girls, sorta kinda crows but he is still here 7 months later. His "sister" loves him, she lays her eggs beside him no matter where he is. Don't tell me chickens don't love other chickens.

His sister laying her egg. (His head is under the feeder.)
