Every other chicken I’ve had has been extremely easy. It’s like having Thing 1 & Thing 2 (and Thing 3) in my house. Not amused. Do love the little buggers though. She’s been sitting there with the other 2, watching the black birds come to the bird feeder and making that happy soft chirp sound. I’ll get this for about 10 minuets and then it’s chaos again..

I vote get them outside ASAP

It sounds like they were just fine snuggling with the 2 Silkies in the coop overnight. They look fairly well feathered. As long as your coop is secure and provides wind protection they will be fine.

LOL I did get tickled about you calling them Thing 1, 2, 3! You mentioned in your first post you are used to brooding/raising Silkies (?) I have never had Silkies, but have had Wyandottes they are strong headed active birds, I would say they are nothing like Silkies. If you are keeping them exclusively with Silkies, then I would watch out for bullying. I'm going to bet the Wy's take over in just a few short months

They will probably get under the Silkies again if they get cold. You could make them a Wool Momma like in this link. If they get to warm they will go outside for a bit, or either just camp closer to the door. It's like a little cave full of wool they can get in to keep warm with their own body heat.

I once used a shoe box, cut the end out, put it nearly full of hay (left enough room for the babies), covered it with the lid then put more hay on top of it in the brooder. It kept about a dozen chicks from freezing in 30° weather outside. within a month they were sleeping outside of the Straw Momma.
