I do it today it's nice out, give them 5 minutes if there still huddled together take them in but if they peck around for greens and playing keep away you can let the stay out for up to an hour but make sure to watch them!
Don't even think of coloring your chicks it can kill them I learned on a website you poke a hole in the bottem of the egg a few days befor hatching and put food color in it. It is messy and mean to the chicks.
my neighbor's cats always gets in our yard and run. so we set up a ratcoon trap, we were going to kill the cat but i don't now if my dad killed it or not but i think you should relocate it. is it a legal to kill a cat?
