Returning hatched poult to mama turkey

[EvansFamilyNH]

Sprout hatched last night. Was an egg that didn’t hatch last Friday under broody with the others and was destined for the dumpster. But i decided to candle before tossing and found it was very much alive, so i put it in the incubator to try and save it. I’m so happy it ended up hatching! Can i return to Mama and the 6 siblings without fearing for its life? How and when do i do this? Almost a week’s difference between her and the siblings.

THAT IS THE CUTEST POULT I HAVE EVER SEEN What I would do is try to integrate her in the evening so mama doesn't notice. However you should supervise to be sure mama accepts her. How much of a size difference? I would do it asap so it happens sooner than later.
