I let my chicks out during the day for an hour during hot weather, but dont leave them out overnight, and try to bring them in when it is windy. Are you going to watch them?

Personally, I let them outside for field trips at 5 weeks, because I want them to get immune to coccidia slowly (with the help of electrolytes)

As long as there's someplace in the tractor that provides draft protection, and shade, should be fine to start letting them out for progressively longer periods of time.
