Hi,
I have a 5 day old chick that mommy hen pecked out of the shell and left to die, I caught the chick just on time to nurse it.. it has gone from not been fully developed, to a strong, curious and healthy chick. I have the chick inside with me under a heat lamp and I am feeding and giving it fluids every 2 hours .. Mommy hen has 2 chicks with her in the coop/nest box, should I introduce the chicks, I don't think putting the nursed chick out to mommy is a good idea, but what about bringing mommy and the 2 chicks in to my little one?
