I had a broody hatch two silkies for me, and yesterday I added more to her brood. I got 3 chicks from one place who were only 1 or 2 days old, and then 2 from another place who look to be 5 days old. Well, the older chicks didn't take to the hen and she rejected them in the morning. Now I have two chicks who are being raised in a brooder and I'm wondering if they'll be ok? They seem lonely right now and like to cuddle with my hand.
Will these chicks be ok as a pair? I'll have to introduce them later or sell them, depending on their sexes and how things turn out.
