We had four chicks (all one week old), but I found one dead today. We're wondering if we should replace the chick that died. We like the idea of having 3 or 4 chickens, so we thought maybe we should get another in case one of our the chicks we have now dies. I'm concerned about bringing another chick into the flock...will the other chicks accept it? What if the chick brings with it a disease that spreads? Any suggestions or input would be much appreciated.
