What age can I let my chicks outside to play?

Mine are almost two weeks old and I've been taking them outside since they were a week old. It's very warm here in California

. I cut the bottom out of a box and put in on the grass. That way they can explore the ground but feel safe in an enclosure. They seem to love it! I've only taken them outside for about a half an hour at most.
 
We just got our fall baby chicks (4) and we are taking them outside every day to explore. My husband built a 'playpen' for them so they have space to explore and our laying hens can get used to them. I believe the fresh air and exercise are good for them. I did this with our first batch of chickens and it worked great! It is still very warm here in northeast Texas so the temperature is not an issue. Don't you just love baby chicks?
