can the chicks go out?

we have some 3 week chicks, i want them to get accepted in the big flock so i was wondering if for say an hour a day or so they free range with them? its around the 20 above and they would still have another week to feather out, and the OEGB's are NOT going outside, they cant stand not beng under the heat lamp

 

i know its lat but still

 

they will be 4 weeks, and i kinda forgots, we have a heat lamp outside and they would just be in the coop. We're pretty much only taking the cochins and turken so we have cold hardy breeds going outside, and when they are 4 weeks were bringing them outside (hope fully )

 

Well our backyard is covered in snow, i keep forgetting that. If we didnt have a rooster i would wait until there older but the rooster doesnt want to stay in the cage with them inside so i was gonna try the oppisite

 

they are 4 weeks now!! So i set them outside for a few min and they were cold :/ So I let out the 2 most feathered cochins and they were OKay, so I was wondering, do you think that at 5 weeks they could live outside? I'm going to set them outside for about 30 min each day, to get them used to the temp.

 

they werent too cold and they had some good feathering, what breed is yours? Breed (as you know) makes a BIG dif, i would NEVER bring out my OEGB's until they are fully feathered and very big
