I have 14 Golden Comet pullets that are 3+ weeks old. I'd like to move them outside this weekend. There feathers have started to come in. What's everyone's recommendation on moving them to a chicken tractor this weekend? I will keep a heat lamp in the tractor. The temps are suppose to be in the 50-60's during the day and and the high 30's low 40's at night.
 
If you're going to put a lamp in the tractor, I'd move them out today! I do all of my brooding outside, and have had newborn chicks straight out of the incubator when we've had single digits!
 
Usually, the safest age to put pullets and cockerels outside all the time is a 5+ weeks. If younger, use the heat lamp. Good luck, they'll love the outdoors.
