2 Week Old Chicks

[Campesina]

Hello everyone..my babies had their first dust bath yesterday.
I didn't let them out long as it was only about 70 out.
But lately it is like they want to go out ...even when it is about 60 out.
I know I can let them out for a while but how long would you say is Too long???
Thanks ya'll.

If they get cold, they will let you know by high pitched peeping and huddling...

They probably need around 80 degrees right now, so I would let them stay out max. 15 min. myself. When mama hens take them out they crouch on the ground to periodically warm them up.
