How old do the chicks have to be before they can go outside.... What's do the,temps need to be...... They are pretty smelly creatures..... I have 16 and they are inside my house in living room.... Just wanting a time/temp frame....

When they are completely feathered out, about 6 weeks old. That is what I have found is a good age to go out full time. Depends on your weather as well.

16 in the living room?

Our brooder is out in the garage. As mentioned, at least 6 weeks old and you can add a brooder lamp at a corner of the coop for a few weeks or until that night temps moderate.

After you have chickens for awhile you will learn to love the smell.
