Car Chicks Old Enough?

[GAchickennewbie]

Sorry for the naive question, but these are my first chicks and I want to do right by them.

Do they have enough feathers to be out 24/7? Right now, they go out for an hour or so each evening and spend most of the weekend outside during the day. I've only been doing it in 70+ weather, but if they have the feathers, we're dropping into the 60's during the day this week and I can acclimate them further. Their coop should be ready next weekend if they are. Just need to enclose it in and add hardware cloth and a roost.

How old are they?

They'll be 5 weeks tomorrow-six weeks when the coop is complete.

I would put them outside all day and bring them in side at night for another couple weeks.
