Special care requirements for Silkies?

What do you differently. (Silkies vs other poultry)

Nothing. My silkies live in the main coop with the rest of the birds, go in and out the pop door, eat out of the same feeder, drink out of the same waterer, and get no special treatment no matter how cold it gets in winter (and it gets plenty cold here). The only difference is they sleep on the floor instead of the roosts.

I'm new to silkies, just have 4 little guys grafted onto a broody. They're about 2 weeks old now and I don't plan to do anything different with them. They'll probably live with my bantam cochins and I don't anticipate any issues.
