They hatched,, only have 2,,, they hatched when we had that bad storm the beginning of August. So they are titty mamas, meaning, I guess I am their mama,,,,, The 2 are now 3 weeks old, I don't think they have their feathers yet,, This is my first with all this.. I made a tiny run that I can put up against the chicken tractor,,, the only hen interersted,, is their actual mother, the mother silkie, she likes to hang out and watch them

So, any way to actually separate her and give her these 3 week old 2 baby chicks?
 
I don't think she will actually take them as her babies, you could try, they certainly could spend some time outside if it's warm enough, I use hardware cloth formed into a circle and start putting mine out for a few hours when it's warm.
