1 week old, too soon to go out for a little field trip?

Hello, it's going to be 85-90 today and was wondering if I could take the little girls out for a short while today. They don't really have feathers yet except on their wings. I will be putting them in a baby gate kind of circle thing. What do you think?

I'd give it a shot, you'll be able to tell if they are too cold if they all huddle up together. As long as the temps are 85-90 and there is not a cool breeze, I bet that they would enjoy that for a bit with you close by. Have fun and good luck to you and your new chicks.

I'd stay with them and keep an eye on them. Direct sun might not be a good idea as their skin might get burned. Also keep water handy for them to drink.

Have fun!
