Go buy starter ASAP. They are good for about two days just off of the yolk they absorbed.

It’s in a chicks best interest to supply a formulated chick starter. You can buy it online, even on eBay, cheaply too.

If you tap the feed with your finger and sprinkle it about the brooder, chicks soon learn.

I wouldn’t recommend trying to raise a single chick, unless it’s being raised by a hen. Maybe you could check around for chicks in your area to give your silkie company?

Chicks need starter feed, they can go for roughly two days without feed.
They sell it at TSC, Bomgaars, and your local Purina feed store (if you've got one).

Then you'll have to order some on the internet and have it shipped to you overnight
Let me do some research and I'll see if there's a homemade supplement you could make.

Are their others living around you with poultry? Maybe ask what they are using and where they got their feed

You def don’t want to feed your chick layer
