Welcome! I am about 5 minutes from you. Paragon is a nice area. I hope you enjoy BYC!

I was like that too! The first 2 nights I was outside every half hour all night long checking them and the lamp! If your coop is as draft proof as you say they would be fine without it. It is hard to let go though, good luck!

We have 12 which can huddle together for warmth, but I think 2 will be fine in those temps. at 7 weeks mine were feathered out well enough to be happy. You could hang a brooder lamp out there for them and only use it at night, if they sleep right under it they are cold, but I found mine would...

Shoot it! Oh yeah can we see the pics?
