I'm putting my silkie in a cage to break her broodiness. The weather forcast is calling for quite a drop in temp. tonight. Low 30's. We've been in the hi 40's. I can put her in the shed, but concerned she won't have other chicken bodies to help keep her warmer. If I bring her in the house, I don't want her to be in cold shock when she returns to the coop in 5 days. Thoughts?!!.....Is this just apples and oranges? I'm leaning toward the shed with a blanket over it her cage.

Hi, thanks for the support. That's what I'll do. Do you raise silkies? Do you have any tips for me on breaking broody silkies? I'm caging her for 5 days on a wire floor, and keeping her in the light.
