I have a baby silkie I just hatched from a previous who was attacked and pasted on while out of town, ironically for a funeral. My question is I have another silkie hen who is sitting on four eggs in the coop. My question is could I put them all together in a brooder, so my chick is not alone? It is on day two and no other eggs have hatched. There was a total of six. Any and all suggestions are appreciated. This was a spur of the moment attempt at hatching and my first time with no experience.
 
When are the eggs under the broody hen due to hatch? I think I'd try to give her the extra chick once hers have hatched, if there wouldn't be too much of an age difference.
