Adding 10 month old with 6 week old???

[thomp119]

I hatched three 6 week old silkie chicks and I just got the DNA sex results back. Two of them are Roos. I have a wonderful home for them to go to, but that leaves my one pullet completely alone. I found a 10 month old silkie hen as a companion. Would it work to combine the two now? Or should I keep the two Roos until they crow and then find a mate for my pullet? What are your experiences with mixing ages with such a small flock? Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I would only put your 6 week old pullet with a bird 4-8 weeks old, otherwise, you may be asking for a pecking mess.
