Can they go outside?

[BgraceL]

My chicks are 5 weeks old can they go outside full time? I live in Central Texas it was 90 today and a low for tonight is suppose to be 70. I was planning on keeping them locked in the coop for a few days. Is it to warm for that?

Have you checked the temp in the coop with a thermometer?

Ventilation matters. Agreed that you should temp the inside of the coop during the day.
