You definitely have to make sure that they're fully feathered and are acclimated to cooler temperatures before just plopping them outside. I stop using a heat source for them indoors, then they go out to the garage- out of wind and harsh weather. AND then they finally graduate to the coop!
This happened to me with some chicken eggs. I ended up posting him online for free because I didn't want him to grow up alone and have no hatch mates. Luckily someone online just hatched a clutch of eggs and he got a bunch of new friends! The other option would be to buy him some friends! Chicks...
