We got 2 new chicks and put them in a brooder. We're pretty confused on what their breeds are: Buff Orps of RIR's, but I'm sure we'll figure out as soon as they grow up

The 2 chicks look happy in their new home here at our's than at the shop(looked like a chick dungeon). We placed them on top of our other brooder of 3 week old cornishes. Cornishes are noisy so it might keep the 2 chicks company.

One of the chick looks very young and looks like a female(although not absolutely sure) so I named her Laura. The other one looks older and looks like a roo so I named him Rex. Rex seem to watch over Laura, while Laura always follow Rex around. But, when the cornishes are asleep, I almost hear no sound from the 2 chicks, only little chirps. When my cornishes were that young they weren't that quiet. Maybe they're alone. I think I can see some kind of sad face on them......but I might be wrong.....
Are 2 chicks lonely? I know this isn't a necessary question but I want my chicks to be happy. They do seem to have fun walking around the brooder.

Thanks in advance!

I think your two newest chicks will be just fine. It's great that they get along. Sometimes big families aren't all they're cracked up to be! (BTW, Laura is a fabulous name!)
 
I think they need ten or twenty little buddies in there with them!!!

Really, I had two chickens for a long time and they were very close and happy.
