Love is the law.Innocent

A:

Hi!  I've raised chickens for awhile, having gotten into it when my daughter was 6 (she's almost 22, lol).  The chick may be able to survive, but I would go along with a couple of other people here and put it in a separate spot.  You have to have a heat lamp for all of them.  I generally use shavings.  Do to it what you would do for the others.  Make sure it knows how to eat and drink by tipping its beak into the water and chick start.  I had a chick that was given to me when I purchased some others because it had a bum leg.  Called it gimpy.  Let him in with the others.  Wasn't sure if he'd make it or not, but he's doing fine and is now lording it over the others.  I think the biggest hurdle may be when it gets older. Chickens do fly, albeit fairly short distances (including trees).  Because it only has one wing, this could potentially put it at a disadvantage.  So I say go for it.  Let us know how you made out.
