Acclimating 6 week old chicks

[PotatoChick]

I have some 6 week old chicks and currently they seem fully feathered and are very soft. Currently, I have them in a room that has no heat and is at 65 degrees Fahrenheit. I live in Wisconsin so it's down to 20 right now outside. I have a run and coop up, with plastic covering all sides with draft areas along with a small plate heater inside the coop itself. At most its been around 25 degrees inside it but we haven't hit the lowest of winter yet.
I know it'd be best to slowly acclimate them to the temp but I don't know how I can to make them most comfortable.

Since there's a heat plate inside the coop for them to use if they want it I'd put them in the coop for increasing periods of time for a week, then they should be good to go.

Hi, welcome to the forum, glad you joined!

It sounds like they will have decent ventilation and no direct wind.
They should be OK with that heat plate in there but if you want to acclimate them as Rosemary mentioned it won't hurt them.
