I have a broody silkie that I put some fertilized eggs under. About a week later, she adopted two other fertilized eggs and started to work on them. Two days ago, the first egg hatched. Now I have a chick and two eggs that should be hatching in four days or so. She is conflicted between caring...

I have some five week old Cornish rocks. Would it be a mistake to move them in with my three other hens and rooster this early or should I wait? They are almost totally feathered out.
