If the coop is insulated, draft free, and if you can put a lamp for heat in it, then they can go into the coop.

As long as it was warm out, I let mine run around. Be warned though, keep a CLOSE eye on them. They're slippery little buggers!

when my chickens were baby's I had them in a homemade brooder box, so I used to clean out their boxes everyday or every other day...While I was cleaning the boxes out, I let them run around and they loved it, fortunatly the weather was good I got mine in late April. They all did well then at about 5 weeks they were out in the coop and I prob coudl have put them out at 4 weeks but didn't want to try it...

Its been in the 80s and 90s when I let my little ones out. Never an issue. They were iffy about grass, but were too scared to run far from me.
