Can my chicks stay outside at night?

[eep123]

I have 2 chicks- one black star and one plymouth rock- that are 8 weeks old. They'd be sleeping in a small coop free of drafts with my fully grown cornish x. This is my first winter with chickens so i dont really know what to do. The temps will be in the high fiftys. Do you think they would be okay outside at night?

In a draft free coop at those temps, they should be just fine.

They'll be fine. By 8 weeks my birds were out in their tractors when nights were still in the upper 30's.
