Amazing three week old silkie Moms!

If you do try it you should closely supervise due to the differences in ages. maybe you could put the baby in with them where he he can be seen, heard, and not harmed at first. Then try removing the separation. Mine are still in my dining room in a brooder so I was able to keep a constant watch over them.

Good luck. Lonely chicks are pathetic. I know this from experience.

That is the ONLY reason I ordered the silkies. I am not so sure brooder babies do as well as the real deal raised babies after my last experiment. I got two dozen fertile eggs and incubated half and gave half to a broody Marans. I hatched 8 and she hatched 11. Her babies were robust and self sufficient and mine were skittish little freaks running around my bathtub! Eventually they were all re-homed so I have no way to know if that changed.
