Should I help hatching? 24 hours

[FoodFreedomNow]

She made it! Yay! My guess was right or she was just that ready. I put her in the box and within 3 hours she was completely hatched! Now to figure out what to do with her/him. Intended to have them stay with momma but after the last five being killed worried about putting her back. Any suggestions?

Since it sounds like she could be at risk if she goes back with the broody, I'd keep her separate, at least for now. Are there any chicks of a similar age that could go into a brooder with her? That would be best, but if not possible, a mirror and some snuggly socks (I use old wool socks) can help her feel less lonely. She'll need heat (I like the MHP), food, water, etc., of course.
