Can I put them in the coop?

Yup, they spent lastnight outside, they did just fine. Right under the heat lamp is pretty warm, like over 100, but they never stay under it for long. The middle of the coop is about 80-85, and the far end is 70-ish. I wasn't able to find a heating pad without auto shut-off, so I had to order one off amazon. With Prime, it should be here Tuesday. In the mean time, I'm going to get a lower wattage heat lamp for them, since the 250 is SO HOT.
 
Glad to hear it! My chicks are the same age as yours, and have outgrown their brooder. I'm desperately trying to get the coop done so I can put them out.

I'm currently using a 100W heat lamp (no light). It allows them to get used to night.

Again, glad that your chicks are enjoying their new set-up.
