Will they be ok? I'm in Ma. Its going to be 47-50 degrees tonight. I have them in a 3x6 coop that Is filled with almost a foot of shavings. The are fully feathed. Lately they have been moving away from the warmer areas of the brooder and sometimes panting if they all group up and snuggle. Water and food is with them outside in the coop.

There are 5 of them in the baby coop together.

So long as you didn't suddenly take the heat lamp and toss them out there (and I suspect even if you did @ 10 weeks old) they'll be fine.

A foot of shavings????? Holy cow! Haha they should be fine I have my 4-5 week olds in a pen in my barn with no light. It gets to high 40's and low 50's at night here. There all doing well!
