Can you find Bandit.They just know instictavly wihere to go to get warm,the crock of the arm or under his collar or under his shirt.The last silkie we had in the house was Jadee ,she was by herself and what a time we had trying to introduce her to other chickens,it was a nightmare,but at least there are three of these.It will be a long time before they can go out in the coop because of the cold,they have a dog crate that I will put them in and a heat lamp when its time and I will put the whole thing right in the coop and that way they can get used to everything and the others can get used to them.I sure wish I could have put them under Jadee out in the coop when they hatched but she would not have been able to keep all of them warm as they grew,she can hardly cover the 7 she has now they are getting so big.But they have a heat lamp and are inside the dog crate with the door open so they can come and go.When they get cold they start sreaming and she sits down and they get under her,the black hen that has 4 takes hers in the nesting box as night and they have a heat lamp over there food and water and they spend time there.
