Ok thank you mine are all adults and have all just started laying a little under a month ago. I put the mixed flock with them tonight to help keep them warm. They just seem to shiver when you hold them so I wanted to make sure how long they can handle the cold.
They should have pleanty of shelter there are four silkies in a 4x8 coop and I have shower curtains on the side of there run to keep wind from blowing on them, And what would be a temp you would bring them in? Thank you
This is one question I haven't been able to get an exact answer to but when should I bring my silkies inside during the winter, I know they are cold hardy but it can get 20 degrees or lower here and it's already been getting down in the 30s at night

They arnt going to probably go up the ramp for about a week, and yes you might have to teach them how to go in, you can start to tell the sex once they are about 2-3 months or older, and I have had mine in with the big chickens since they were about 3 months, and if you were hoping for older...

X2 the cackling dosnt indicate much of anything, rooster also do the cackling noise they do it when the hens are doing there egg song and hens and Roos also does it when a predator is at threat to them.
