They are very hardy and adjust well if they are Orpingtons. My hen just hatched out 5 about a month ago and it was very cold. They are growing and very healthy.

We have an old english game bantam hen that hatched 5 chicks in december and they are all doing just fine. We cut a hole in a 20 gallon tote, filled the bottom with pine shaving and moved them in right after they hatched for extra warmth. They are fully feathered now and free range with mom every day.
