Just scoop out the hay and put more down. All should be well unless you have had water spilled all over the place. Then you may want to use a solution of bleach and water on the floor.

Normally mine start roosting at a few weeks old. Start them out on really low roosts.

With silkies you could be up to a year before they start to lay. Patience is the key here.
