5 week old chicks ready for coop?

[Alicecoop]

I would like to move my 5 week old chicks out to the coop. I have 5 pourcelian D'Uccle and 4 Dominique's. I have been putting them out in the run durning the day when I am home and back in the brooder at night. They seem to not like the transition of going back to the brooder. I was going to hook up a light in the corner for a little more warmth. Does anyone think this is not a good idea?

Where do you live?
I had my 4 week olds out 24/7 when it got to 80 during the day and was dipping into the 50s at night.
If you aren't in Minnesota, Maine or similar climate, they're probably ready.

Up state NY it is average 70-75 days and 50 nights

Put them out, mine went at three weeks, I had the lamp at night on for about a week and then turned it off. I am in upstate SC and it was warm during the day and around 60 at night. They are happy and so am I...They are chickens get them outside!!!!
