Ok, cool.
Food...
Right now I'm feeding these guys Purina start and grow medicated.
They should eat this for about 2 months, correct?
After? Can i make my own feed?
Thanks...

I'd say around 8 weeks for chick starter. Before you make your own food, I'd give them grower and make food when they are laying. Grower feed has more protein for when the chicks are growing feathers.
 
Ok. Good to know.
Now, how about their first trip outside?
2 weeks? 1 month?
Also, when can they remain outside?
2 months? 4?
Thanks.

Depends on the weather. They can be brought out at a week, though only for a little bit as they'll get cold, and will probably be scared anyways. They can stay out once they are fully feathered, which is around 6-8 weeks.
 
Awesome.
Next...
After their transition to the coop, do i put their food IN the coop with them or outside?
Thanks for all your hemp, BTW.
