Adorable chick! Congrats.

Yeah, it is fine to have food and water in the nest box. Just make sure the water can't spill on the nest.

Make sure you mark all eggs that are under the red hen to hatch. Remove fresh eggs daily. It is possible the silkie will go broody with the red, and if you don't care, they'll just hatch the eggs together and most likely have no problems. I've had lots of hens hatch chicks together.
