I had a broody hen that I decided to let hatch out eggs. There were 4 eggs in total. 2 of them hatched, a day apart from each other. After that, momma abandoned the other 2 eggs. So I put them in an incubator and 2 days later one hatched. The other egg.... Didn't make it.
The thing is, the mother wants absolutely nothing to do with this chick, other than kill it. So I set up a brooder for it. Is it OK to keep this chick by itself until the other 2 chicks part ways with mama and then keep them together until they're all 3 big enough to add to the flock?
