Putting chicks to bed

[Chez]

I wondered what other chick lovers did to keep their pets warm in winter? I have an eglu-cube and put down newspaper and straw for them. I have five: 1 Rhode Island Red/East Sussex, 2 Silky Bantams, 1 Cochin and 1 Pekin and am worried that they might get cold. Should I put in loads more straw or do people think they all cuddle up to one another and keep each other warm? I would be grateful for any help please, thanks x

good to let people know your'e area when asking questions about cold weather so you'll get a more accurate response. from your basic description, they sound fine. pekins love the cold.
