5 week old nankin with broody Silkie?? Is it ok?

Is it ok? She pecked at him...I tried my non broody Silkie but she pecked at him too...he's currently in a bin.

It is not likely she will accept it at such a late age, and certainly it will by bond to her. I can't see any benefit of keeping it with her. It would be best to offer it its own brooder with a similarly aged buddy; at this age it will also need a heat lamp in most climates.
