I am new to the whole world of chickens and currently we have 6 Golden comets that are 2 weeks old. I have fed them a worm here and there and they seemed to love it. It's 65 degrees outside would it be ok to take them outside to play for a while? Is there anything I should watch for in their behavior? Should I try and build a containment or would they kind of stay in the same area?
Thanks for all the help.
 
I would take them out, and yes, I would use some sort of containment, so you don't have to chase them down. Also, at that size, a cat, hawk or eagle will eat them in a moment. A loop of small diameter chicken wire or an old playpen upside down would work well -- just to give you an idea, hopefully.

But they will love it, and it will help "harden them off" for outdoor living, maybe a little sooner.
