6wk old and 3 wk old outside?

[kambrose]

Here in southern Utah right now it's about 90-100 outside and in the 60s to 70s at night.

We just got our coop built and about to put them outside.

Would they be ok outside without heat if they are all huddling together?
I'm more concerned about the 3 to 4 week olds. But feel they would be ok.


We're needing to make room and clean our brooder for our new turkey hatchlings coming up in a couple weeks.

They will be fine. My three week olds are outside from day one with a heat lamp and I just turned theirs off a few days ago. They have had no heat lamp since last Thursday and are as happy as can be. They just snuggle at night.

Especially if they've got some feathers rocking...

I am a horrible chicken mama, I haven't blocked off the nesting boxes and subsequently my little ones love to just pile together in one or two of em to sleep.

That reminds me to close off mine!
Though I am very tempted to let them cuddle in one.

Meah. I'll close mine off when they're a little bigger.
