   They wll be fine with the temps that you see as long as you have good ventilation.
   
   4.5X4.5= 20.25 sq ft /4 sq ft per bird = 5 birds will be comfortable in you coop. Since they are silkies and smaller you can maybe jam another one in there if you have a good run or them. 10 sqft per bird in the run.
