We decided that since we already had two recently hatched turkeys in our house that we would just go ahead and take care of the baby chicken inside as well. I wouldn't have done that had we not had others to put it with, but since we did I jumped on it. I am already concerned with introducing the teenagers into the coop with the moms; I was afraid that their might be more hostility if they felt they had to protect the baby from the newcomers, as well as their place in the pecking order.
Good news they get along just great!
They eat together, and sleep together.
Now let's just hope our little chicken doesn't grow up thinking it's a turkey, lol.
I am also keeping an eye out for another chick in the hen house. It would be nice to have two little ones to introduce together. Everything is better with a buddy.
