1.
I have 2 older silkies that are about 2 years old and I have 4, 3 and a half months old and will the older ones fight with my younger ones?
2.
Will i be able to put eggs under my older silkies?
3.
Will my 3 and a half onth old roo be able to mate with the older?
 
Well your roo is plenty old enough but, your youngest chicks are not. He may harm them trying to breed and overbreed them.. A rooster can handle 10 hens, if you don't have that many or your girls are too young - he may end up physically damaging them. You may have to keep him separated from the girls, until they are old enough to lay eggs. Silkies tend to go broody but, not all of them do.
