so...I had two baby silkies and a baby polish top hat in a brooder box together. the polish top hat and one of the silkies have died (probably due to coccidosis). the remaining silkie seems healthy, but lonely. s/he is too young to go outside with my other chicks (8+ weeks old). however i worry about it being alone. any suggestions? i do have one bantam that it could be with, but i am not sure how healthy the silkie really is. i dont want the bantam to get sick. thanks!
