Are there any diseases finches can pass to chickens?

My niece works at Petsmart and they had 2 finches come in that they could not sell because they are missing a leg, so she gave them to me. I have them in the house for quarantine and also because it is so cold to add them to the aviary outside having no time to acclimate. The thing is I did not consider if these birds could get my chickens sick and I put them in the same room as a silkie hen with her 7 chicks I am rearing in the house. Is there anything I need to worry about?
 
If I were you, I probably wouldn't worry- the only way diseases could be spread between them would be through droppings, and even then, that's a very remote possibility.
 
Quarantine for a few weeks.Birds can transfer disease to chickens.Im sure you can keep her with them just quarantine.
