8 week old chicks living in my dinning room, big enough to be moved to thier coop?

[Happy Chooks]

I am wondering about when they can go outside also. I have two six week old chicks, a rhode island red and an ohio buckeye. Right now it is 55 and the sun is out. Can they go out for awhile? I also heard chickens need to slowly acclimate to colder temperatures and not to keep going from heat to cold. How should I procedure please?

Do you have any other chickens? If not, they will be fine outside - provided you have acclimated them to cooler temps by removing the heat lamp first.

Our chicks are 8 weeks old and have been outside for the last 3. They put themselves to bed up on their roosting bars in their coop once the sun starts to go down. They are large and sturdy. They are instinctual and will be fine.
