They'll be fine if they're 7 weeks. Our 6 week olds are outside, but they had a heat lamp. Last night it died, and in the morning they were just as happy and healthy as ever.
The more you hold them when they are young, the sweeter they'll be when they're older. I held my flock all the time as babies, and now they'll all eat out of my hand.
Cute picture, but get real. As far as I know, dogs associate chickens with meat and feather ripping rather than with cuddles. My dog is a prime example of this.

well its either that or abandon it in the parking lot again... you want to have that on your conscience??
Ummmm... they are the same breed, but one is bred off the other. If you order araucaunas, you'll probably get ameraucaunas anyway, because purebred araucanas are so rare that most hatcheries don't stock them.
