6 week barred rocks first time in coop

[bmill88]

I have 3 female barred rocks, they are 6 weeks old. Tonight is their first night In their coop and I'm a bit nervous. The temp is going to get down to 63F tonight and I am worried that they might get too cold. It looks like most of their feathers have come in. I don't have a heat lamp out there. Should I be worried? Or will they be ok?

No worry, old enough to do this. Mine will be 6weeks old next week. Already letting them get acclimated to the cool nights. So yes, they can do this.

Oh yeah, they'll be just fine. I put mine out at 6 weeks which was 10 weeks ago, and I believe the night time temps were in the 50's in my neck of the woods and they were A-ok. I soon found out they seemed to really prefer the cooler temps. Now I'm worried about the heat since the summer temps in central AZ get pretty hot.
