Tonight is going to be 36 degrees here in Florida . This is not a normal for us. I have the run and coop tarped up but it’s SOoo windy(20mph gusty wind) that it’s still blowing through my run where Momma Silkie and her four 5day old chicks are. I’ve very securely hung a heating lamp over their section and all my chickens are huddling against the divider that separates the grown birds and new chicks trying to keep warm. It’s only 54 degrees so far! My d’uccle is half naked in full molt and looks cold. She doesn’t snuggle up to the others right now because I think she is uncomfortable with her molt.
Will they be alright or do I need to bring them in tonight?
My chicken flock consist of 3feathered silkie/cross 11 weeks, 2 silkie 11 weeks, 1 silkie yr old Roo, 2 yr old silkie hens ( one being momma), EE, and my naked d’uccle. Plus the 5 day old chicks.
