8 Week old chicks be okay outside in cold temps?

[Mistyfox]

I have 6 chicks ranging from 7.5-9.5 weeks old. Fully feathered except for one who has the tiniest bit of fluff left. They have been outside all day for the past two weeks but we bring them in at night. We want to move them out full time but I’m worried about the lows. It’s been in the mid 30’s to low 40’s at night. I have an omlet eglu go coop with wood shavings. Are they good to move outside in the coop full time? Next week we will also have some below freezing temps so I’m just a little worried but I really want them out of my house it’s a pain bringing them back and forth every day.

They are fine. they would have been good to move out a few weeks ago. they are off the heat right?

omlet eglu go

That is too small for 2 chickens let alone 6. the accepted minimum is 4 sq feet of coop space and 10 sq feet of run space per chicken. Are you able to find a used coop or a shed that you can convert into a coop?

Mine were out in those temps a few weeks earlier but they had no heat indoors for awhile to acclimate.

Great thanks! They haven’t had supplemental heat in a couple weeks inside either so sounds like they will be fine
