One Lonely Egg- need help!

If you're worried about introducing one chick to many, you could do it the other way around: set up a brooder for this one, and introduce the others to him one-by-one. (Probably add one the first day, the second a day or two later, the third a day or so later yet, then the fourth and fifth together so you don't leave one of them alone at the end.)

It will work better with a large (or at least long) brooder, so one end can be warm enough for the just-hatched baby, and the other end quite cool (don't want the big ones getting overheated, and it won't hurt the littlest one to go play in the cool part and then run back to warm up.)

That sounds like a great idea! I think that’s what I’m going to do. Thank you guys for the suggestions!!! Feeling better about this already. I mean, really, he (hopefully she) is definitely a fighter!
