Single 5wk chick with no mama

[QChickieMama]

I rescued 2 5wk old chicks, and one died. Now I have one vigorous chick who peeps SO much of the day from being alone. In the afternoon, I let her free range with the flock (Rooster and 17 hens). Chick is super gutsy but they still peck her on the head when they feel like it.

She's made it 4 days alone, so do I keep her isolated?

She isn't interested in roosting; she sleeps in her food dish. When it's chilly, I wish I could put her next to a big hen.

What's the best path here?

At 5 weeks, she'd typically be weaned by now and integrated in the flock. Let her be, she's right on course

I would start integrating her via the see but no touch method, she's old enough for that now
