Breaking up 2 chicks brooded together?

[charlotte-and-the-bees]

Hellooo. I have two salmon faverolles brooded together, and a few weeks ago introduced a solo silkie who I just found out is male. Fortunately have a lovely home for him lined up, and I’m debating giving away a single faverolle to go with him since she’s extremely flighty with humans but gets along well with the little guy. She seems to give the other faverolle a bit of anxiety, but because they were brooded together they’re definitely bonded when they adventure (seem lost without the other). I’m picking up a silkie pullet of the same age tomorrow. I know this all seems like wild chicken chess, but just want them all to have good lives and buddies. Is it mean to separate? Am I overthinking this?

If it's possible, you can give the silky and faverolle away, but that means you would have to get another chick for the one in your brooder or give her some stuffed animals and extra cuddles.
