Hello, recently our silkie passed away and our barred rock is all alone. We are not sure if the chicken that died had a disease. Thats why we are hesitating on bringing in any new beings in. If we do bring is some new chickens, not sure if we should get chicks or a chicken closer to our chickens age. We don't want to leave her alone to long because i heard they can die of being alone. Please help 
I would get more chickens. Was the silkie old? If it did not seem sick i don't think there will be any problem. I would just thoroughly clean out the coop so if there was and bad stuff in there it will be gone.
