I have 1 1/2 week old silkie who is the only hatch out of 6. She chirped so loudly because she was lonely. I rigged a cage inside the brooder of my 5 week old chicks. She has a heat lamp, food and water. She can see and hear the older chicks but they can't pick on her. Sometimes they will lay right next to her cage but she wants to be right on top of them. I can't wait till she's big enough to let them be together. Do you think she's a black with silver leakage?![]()
I have introduced younger chicks with older with success in the past. Just pop one in with her for a day or so then try introducing them together. Supervise them of course.
