Can 3 week old bantams stay outside at night if temp in mid 70's?

[susanah]

There are 5 bantams and 1 full size. Temps are mid 90's during day,
but mid 70's at night. According to what I've read 95 first week then
decrease 5 each week. That puts us at 80. But if they are asleep
together in an enclosed coop in a cage that is
covered for draft free, will they be
alright? Or should I just be patient for one more week. They are getting
kind of crowded in the brooder box and looking like they want out.

I think they'll be just fine out in the coop. They will cluster together at night, when it's dark anyhow.

They will be fine! Don't worry.

They'll be fine. When I got my 3 OEGB's they were 2.5 weeks old and I kept them outside in the coop which is also draft free. The weather was very similiar too.

Or you could jsut hang a light in the corner so that if they need it they will have it. That might make you feel better about it????

I have bantams and put them out about 1 monthbago when they were 6 weeks old and nighttime lows were in 50s. Yours will be fine.

I have my 3 week old chicks out in their secured coop at night, they all sleep in a line together at night.
