Do the ones in the picture have a roost they can get on to get off the cold ground? How cold is it? Are the younger ones completely feathered out? How much space do they have?
 
Hi, they are in a small chicken coop that is suitable for 3-4 full grown chicken, at the moment i have taken perches out. these 2 sleep together in a nesting boxes within the hut, then there is an outside run. temp varies from 14 to 4c. The other alternative i have isto put them in the garage, but i was concerned about them not getting natural light, at the moment thee ypunger ones are in the brooder in the house.
