Johnn, you can keep both. Just provide a safe place for the older one while he is still with you.

I had a question on broody hens and mothers. My idea is to gett a silkie and then give her some chicks to raise to start my flock. Would she need to be broody to accept the chicks? What kind of care do you give chicks when the mother is raising them? Should I wait until spring because of the cold?
