Hi there, I had two silkies that are approximately two months old and one just died overnight. They are indoor chickens and I let them out in a screen cage enclosure during the day and sleeps inside at night. I’m afraid that she will be lonely as she only had the other silky. I do have 12 other hens that free range and sleep in a coop at night. Should I get another silky, baby chick or will she be OK by herself?
 
They are social animals. I would try to find more friends for her.
I would wait a couple of weeks to make sure she doesn't have some kind of illness unless you know why the other died.
