5 Week Old Showgirl Silkies Outside?

[Annroo]

Hello! I have two 5 week old Showgirl Silkie chicks and I was wondering if it was okay for them to stay outside on our screened in porch in a dog kennel until their special coop and run get here? When looking at integrating them in our current coop the size difference between some of our 8 week old other breeds and the silkie babies was quite a lot and the coop overall just seems way too big for them. But point being, it’s supposed to reach 60 degrees a few nights this week - should I move them at night? Thanks!

What temperatures are they acclimated to? What is the daytime temperatures? With only 2 I might move them somewhere warmer at night for another couple of weeks.

The daytime temperature is 80-90. I’m not entirely sure what they’re acclimated to, I just recently purchased them from someone. That’s true, always better safe than sorry.

Besides the slight dip this week, beyond that it probably won’t go below 75 at night, this is Georgia.

They will probably be okay than.
