Are 2 birds enough to keep warm through the night?

[MidMaineChick]

I have a small rooster flock. Out of my six "pullets", two were roos. So we moved them into their own run out of sight of the 4 hens and the hens are living happily together. (We have chickens for eggs and compost)
The Roos seem happy enough, too. They don't fight and have both been crowing happily in the morning.
But I'm worried on chilly nights that they wont have enough body heat to keep each other warm. There's no "inside" of their cuddle pile. :/

Has anyone kept only 2 birds? Any troubles with staying warm enough? Should I add a roo or a stuffy or something? Here's a picture because they are cute.

My rooster did fine over the winter. I had a set of brothers(they were Jersey giant crosses) that didn't mind the snow and cold one bit and always went outside. We kept plenty of bedding in the coop for them and made sure there were no drafts in the coop but or else they were happy. I don't remember seeing a single fight.

You don't mention where you live to tell us how cold it gets specially in the winters. When it gets very cold you should protect them from drafts and cover the side where the prevalent wind comes thru with a tarp, otherwise they should be fine.
I kept two roosters by themselves for almost 2 years, they got along well.

Sorry, I live in Central Maine so, yes, it can get very cold in the wintertime , but I will have their coop more insulated by then.
Thanks for your stories about your own mini rooster flocks.

New York in the winter days are in negatives.

They should be fine, I kept a single cockerel over a winter.
Don't get too swayed by the somewhat false theories that more chickens keep each other warmer and that an insulated coop will do the same.
Chickens have down coats on, they can stay warm all on their own.
Ventilation is very important all year round, even(maybe especially) in a cold climate.
As long as they are dry and out of direct drafts, those down coats will keep them warm.
