will my girls be too cold this winter with just the two of them? I have a small dog house for them and put a bunch of shavings in it so they can snuggle in. It is only the two of them and I have found them covered in frost now that it is getting farther into fall.

Are there any "creamy yellow butterscotch" colored silkies?? I ask because we only had 1 baby Silkie hatch out of 8 or 9 Silkie eggs (and twice I thought it was dead), but it's yellowish? I mean...it's kind of like a buttercream frosting colored chick with light caramel colored parts here and there?? (it's yellow, but not "Yellow!" like a regular yellow chick.

nope, I can't provide a picture because I broke our camera - we do have the one we want on order though - should be here soon (couldn't buy it locally).

So would just the grower food be okay to feed them over the winter? Also, I know you say you never feed scratch, but you live in Arizona, where I am up here we can get up to 4 ft of snow at a time and it sometimes gets to -20F when it's a really bad winter which it is supposed to be this year.

I'm in maine, i've never purchased scratch before. I guess I don't understand why they need it?
