3 week old chicks outside.

I have 14 three week old chicks. Today the temp outside is 88 degrees. Would it be okay to put them outside for a little while in a raised rabbit hutch style coop? They are getting cramped in their brooder and I thought with the temps being so high I might be able to let them get some excersize and stretch their wings and then bring them in this afternoon, but I don't have a lot of experience brooding chicks. Do yall think they would be okay?

In that weather it would be fine.

I'm glad to hear that. Its so hot and humid that even my newborn chicks aren't spending more than a minute or two under mom. I think the high for today is 90.
