We Had Another Chick Hatch Last Night Around 9pm..So I Just Left It In the Bator Over Night, Ok, The Other Two Little Chicks I Have Are Just About Two And A Half Days Older, And when I Put the New Chick In the Brooder, At First Everything Seem Ok, And Then The Older Chicks Start Picking At the Baby...What Do I Need To Do?? Do I Need To Put The Baby Chick In Another Brooder For Alittle While Or Just Leave Everything The Way It Is? Thank You For Your Help.....Ktown

I've found when putting chicks together that a a few days up to a week apart if I just wait till the new one is atleast 2 days old and able to move around easily they do fine. I also end up carrying the lone baby around to comfort them and they do settle right in (plus I must admit, I enjoy it)

I wait for the new one to be 2-3 days old when it can handle itself better. Today was Day 1 of carrying around "Socks" because he was the only chick out of 9 eggs. I set some more just for him, but the next chick is one week away. Socks is my little pocket pet for a week! Then I'll carry 1 of the others with him for a day or 2, and then add them to the brooder with the other 2 due to hatch.
