I'm getting three 7 week old babies tomorrow. They are fully feathered. Currently the are in a basement without heat. I live in CT. Can they go outside all the time?

I definitely wouldn't free range yet, still way to young. Wait till they are at least 3 months, then they should be ready. As far as just having them live outside (as in live in a coop or pen outside), yes they are most definitely ready to get out there. I would move them out ASAP. My 7 week old chickens have been outside since I got them (3 days old), with only a heat lamp, and they did great. I moved them into there own coop at 5 weeks old, and my other 5 week old chicks at only 3 weeks old. Hope all this info helped and best of luck to you and your babies![]()
