You’ll have to get her some friends. Chicks are social animals and need company. As a temporary fix you can try and put a mirror in her brooder, but again it is a temporary fix. If you can’t get her any siblings, or don’t want to, I think the best thing would be to give her away. If you get chicks that are at the oldest 1 week they should get along fine.

Agreed. You’ll probably have to get it at least two others. And a mirror will work for a little, but it won’t be a lifelong solution.
