The lesser of two evils

For the future you might want to get her some Frizzle buddies to form a proper bond/ subflock with or rehome her to someone keeping a Frizzles only flock.

Birds really don’t keep each other warm. Think of being next to someone at a cold football game, the warmth inside your coat does nothing for the person next to you. You huddle together to help block the wind. If she is out of the wind, she should be fine.

wow I never thought of it that way but it makes sense!

I understand that logic but I am hopelessly in love with her. She tries to jump up on my lap and pecks at my shin to pick her up. I pick her up and put her on my lap and she LOVES to be pet! So cute/funny. None of my other chooks will let me touch them!

I don't know anything about heat for chickens or a coop but I think that heating elements for puppies could be an option. If you're not familiar with them, they are hard plastic boards essentially and the cord is safety wrapped. They do not overheat but keep a consistently warm temp. They come in various sizes. If you use one of those I would definitely add a puppy pad as I don't know if the direct heat could affect a chicken's feet. We used them for many years inside and outside as an additional source of heat during the winter and we never had any issues with over heating or potential fire risks. Just a suggestion or another option to explore.

So so adding more Frizzles it is!
