One chick needs integrated

[Rorie]

Our clutch only provided us with one chick. She is about 5 weeks now and still with mum on their own.

When and how should I introduce her to the others? I can't really keep her on her own for another 10 weeks and not sure it's best leaving her with mum all that time?

any suggestions?

A broodie will protect the chick from the others. They should be fine.

I'd leave them alone. Mama hen will keep the one chick separate for a time, but eventually they will merge with the rest of the flock. It's natures way.
