What to do?? Broody only has 1 egg...

[steffpeck]

I candled my 7 eggs that my cochin has been sitting on and only 1 egg has anything in it. Do I just let her hatch the one chick alone, or do I buy other chicks to go with it? It is due to hatch around the 18th. I am not sure what to do. I was really hoping that more than one egg would have been fertile.

I've had hens hatch only one and they did fine, I just got rid of the bad ones.

I tossed the infertile ones. I guess I will let her just hatch the one chick. Maybe I'll check my local ad's to see if anyone gets a shipment of chicks and has a few to sale that I can put with her.
