Lone chick outside

[kgby13]

My Silkie hatch two chicks from five eggs. She did well the first two weeks but last night did not sit with them. Had one die this morning. Should I bring the other in to the brooder? I currently have a batch in there roughly the same age. Give or take a day or two.

How do you know she didn't sit on them?

I would actually try giving the silkie the batch. It may not work and you would have to keep a very close eye on them. Unless she is proving to not be a suitable mother. If not then put the chick with the others.
