Raising a baby chick alone?

[hollycs]

Glad to hear that. I tried to buy a baby chick for her but I guess it's the wrong time of year because I can't find any. I guess she's just stuck with us I'm concerned about putting her back in with the mom after she tried to eat her! Any idea why they do that. Did yours do it to any other clutches?

maybe try it? sometimes the mom is attacking any threats to her babies... they get confused. Is the momma hen still sitting on the nest? if she is, maybe try and put the baby chick under her at night... watch close for awhile.. see what happens
