I know this has been addressed several times, however with the exceptionally bad weather (I am in Ohio) our nights are still chilly. It will still be in the 30's at night next week. My chicks are now 8 weeks old and fully feathered and getting crowded in my indoor set up. My coop is divided into 2 parts, so they will be separate from my adults. They will have the ground floor of my tractor coop. Although it is on the ground it has easily, 8-10 inches of straw in it. It has hardare cloth covering the open areas and is also covered in plastic to keep out the wind, rain, snow (this is removed in the Spring). Are they able to go out or should I hold off to be on the safe side? I want them to be outside and have more room to grow but also want to becertain they are protected and safe. Thanks for your input.
