Question about heat lamp in coop

[luvsdaytrotters]

Hi All!

I have a group of 6 girls who are just my world...  so adorable.  Anyway, it's starting to get very cold here with lots of snow and below freezing temps even during the day.  I would not normally be that concerned as my oldest girls are nearly 9 months old now, but I have two, four month olds who are still getting their new feathers-- but mostly feathered out.  So, question-- should I bring in the two juveniles to stay at least at night inside, or should I put a infra-red heat lamp inside the coop?  Is there something else I should do, maybe a 75 watt to just clear the chill and slight dampness inside?

These juveniles were recently acquired as rescue birds and are on the mend, but I think are not quite ready for this weather.

I'd love some advice.  Thanks!!
