Single Chick

[pek]

We had a bit of a surprise today in the form of a little fluffy baby under one of my hens, but only one. I'm a little worried about one single baby and being late June, there are no places with day old chicks. There are also very drastic temperature changes at my house, around 80 in the day and around 50 to sixty at dawn. What should I do for the little guy (or gal, hopefully)?

I think he'll be fine with his mom. He won't be lonely with his mom.

Let it stay with mom as she will take care of him look for chicks but if you can't dont worry. And usually the mom will keep them warm teach them to eat drink forage ........
