Bringing chicks outside to play!

[cochinbantam-lover]

I want to bring my chicks outside to play, they are two weeks old tomorrow. The temp outside is 72, also what should the temp in the brooder be at this age?

Thankyou!

Don't let them out for too long though. Watch them, if they start fluffin' up and piling together, get'em back in under the heat lamp. we take ours out daily. usually 30 minutes at a time.

well at 90-95 week 1
85-90 week 2
80-85 week 3

I'd say you are at 85-90 if you are in week 2. The chicks will let you know if they are cold. Just watch them closely they may not even like it yet. Don't be surprised if they just squawk and huddle!
