Broody hens hatch eggs

[Ddgsv58]

I was able to separate my two broody hens long enough for them to hatch 2 of three eggs! The third started to hatch but did not survive, I don’t know why It the best pictures but the Easter eggers hatch two silkies. Lol. No when can I move them to the floor in a new box. I’m not sure the moms will want to leave their current boxes

I have older chicks in my home at least maybe two weeks. They just got tail feathers. I originally got them for the. Hens then was pleasantly surprised with silkie eggs. Would the. Hens accept them? Would chicks hurt new silkies?

The hens probably won’t accept, but try anyway in case they do.
The bigger one might pick on the smaller, so watch them.
