Yes, but I was addressing the OP. But seeing a dog-pile of silkies always makes me smile.

Good question... If your birds are fully feathered they should be fine. The key is a draft-free coop with good ventilation. The roost board plays a part. A 2x4 turned so the fat (4") side is up allows the birds to hunker down and cover their feet. They will fluff out their feathers as insulation.

If you consider a minimum of 4 square feet per bird and consider that they might be locked in the coop for any extended period of time, then you get 8-9 birds. The run is bonus for them.
