Mike they'll be fine. I brooded in the garage and there were some cooler days. On extra cooler nights I partially covered the wire top of the brooder with a bath towel to help hold in heat. And of course left an opening with safe margins for the brooder light to warm. How many weeks are the chicks? They might have enough feathers to help with keeping warm as well. Once the body is feathered they're doing quite a bit on their own to keep warm.

Nordic your Extra Roos will make themselves known one by one who will not be part of your flock. Sounds like #1 has been marked. Our. First 9 birds we had 3 cockerels. #1 was a partridge rock who I really wanted to keep too btw. But even though he was good to us humans he incessantly terrorized the hens. And then i'd see the flock sneaking away from him. #2 was a bantam Cochin and a little love some days. Son of a gun other days. He was great with the kids but made Roger our natural leader run all day long. The boys competed too much and I had bare back hens. Tough decision but he went bye bye too. My husband thought he was great and put in his unwanted two cents. What was left was a New Hampshire with great predator detecting instincts, family friendliness. He's actually like a family dog. Comes into the kitchen and goes to the cracker cupboard, gets his treat and before he poops in the house we kick him out.

Today we had special visitors. They backed right into the garage while it rained outside.
