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.
 
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.
